| To improve the general quality, respectability and readibility of the Frihost community forums, we decided to implement a few new rules and guidelines specific to the posting, spelling and layout of your posts. This is not meant to make your posting experience harder, but simply to make the forums a better place.
4. Read your posts again before posting them to find obvious spelling mistakes. 5. Do not reply to a thread if you have nothing useful to say. 10. Instead of excusing yourself for your English at the end of every post, rather put your efforts in correcting your mistakes. And remember, everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone is trying to correct them. |
Hello Frihosters!
A couple of months ago Bondings did something which I thought would bring a change for the better to these forums. In fact, I didnt just think it would bring change, I thought it would REVOLUTIONIZE the forums.
Now, a couple of months later, I still havent felt the "rules" change anything even ever so slightly.
What really annoys me are the entirely unreadable posts. The posts which would have been just as easy to read had they been translated by google or babelfish. In fact, they would have been just as easy to understand if the author had left them in Russian, or whatever language they came from...
That shows lack of care, or lack of "being a member who might do something good for the forums".
If a person CANT speak english to save his/her life, and his/her language is not represented by a language forum, whats the point of even starting an account? - MODS: SAY SORRY and then BAN THEM! - frihost CANT use them, as all their posts will be impossible to understand.
If a person CANT BE ASKED to speak propper english, then BAN THEM! I spend time posting posts in propper english, though danish is my first language - I KNOW its not impossible to write in somewhat decent english although your foreign.
Also: Point five is one of the most widely broken rules on the forum. Why shouldnt it be WAY more strictly enforced? I can almost guarantee you there will be atleast one of those pointless replies to this topic within the first 1-2 days, and I BEG you MODS to start warning people for it - otherwise frihost will never change for the better.
Hope you enjoyed the lecture
