Expectations from Members.
Look folks, I know that I may sound like a teacher you had back in school, but enough is enough. The spelling and the punctuation is starting to fall by the wayside here.
Keep in mind that this is not a chat room, nor an instant message place. This is a forum, and in order for people to help you or respond to what you are trying to get across, the people MUST understand what you are writing! You MUST use punctuation, e.g. comma'*, periods, you know those things you were taught about in Grade One.
I am not saying that every word needs to be spelled correctly, but at least attempt to make it right.
Thank you,
End of lecture.

Well said, PMom.
I also think this would be an excellent time to insist that Shadow adopt a new avatar. PMom and Shadow have now melded into the same person in my mind.

hmmm, yeah, maybe we could have some sort of sticky just on common courtesies, like trying to not have similar avatars or signatures so as to avoid confusion when responding to posts.

i dont really think either of these "issues" are issues. both of them are more of a "live with it" in my mind.
a person can pick their own avatar.
as for spelling, how much does that really matter? if you cant understand what someone is typing, respond saying that you cant understand them. i dont really think we need to turn this forum into an english class.
- if im out of line, let me know.

Agreed on the grammar.
We shouldn't have to ask somebody to restate themselves due to grammar... isn't it annoying in real life when somebody keeps mumbling?

Lol... my post was more of a joke than anything. Sorry, I needed to use some emoticons to convey my level of seriousnessocity However, I always thought the point of an avatar was to be something unique. I certainly don't think Shadow should be obligated to change anything, though. If that'* the avatar you want, go ahead and keep it.
