I really appreciate what Frihost is doing (despite the fact that I have yet to put my websaite up). It is, therefore, very sad to see such a great forum made painful to read by idiots who should be warned/banned/executed.
There's another forum I post at (LWS), which has a no-AIM speak policy, at the threat of an instant warning. I think that the standards of English are getting painfully low, the problem of people spamming c&p'd tutorials without credit is reaching epidemic and I am sick of reading replies with an emoticon at the end of every line.
I propose a verbal warning for a post that demonstrates a predominant disregard for English (excluding typoes), followed by increasingly severe warnings and eventually a temporary bannination.
Spamming is bad. If you're trying to grow the forum by adding the incentive of free hosting, fine. But in not making it clear that a member's presence here is entirely dependent on them actually contributing, you create a swathe of members who simply go on spamming runs every so often to top up their points.
Don't get me wrong; this place is great and it's a joy to post here. The only problem is the discomfort of having to wade through the tide of idiocy that the free hosting promotion seems to have drawn here.
