A reminder to new members
 

Without sounding patronising, could you PLEASE keep the use of capitals and exclamations to a minimum. you wouldn't shout at someone in real life so don't to it on the internet, it's beyond irritating.

particularly in thread titles, as soon as I see it I'm immediately put off the thread.

I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

:blush2:

How lovely.

Well why hold back when the point stands. :thumbs:

Exactly. Stand up to all those noobs!

I have come across this hatred of capitals a lot on the internet. What is the problem?? It's only typed words...they have no sound!! lolol

Yeah i agree. Makes the forum look so trashy...

Haven't seen to much off it to be honest

the main time i see it is when Hannah creates a topic

it's really only the BB10 section, as that is where the newer members seem to migrate.

and Rice Square it's hardly standing up to anyone, merely a request, a reminder of the rules.

Ok..... calm down.

The mods should be a lot more on the ball with newbies (and some oldies) spouting disgusting racist and homophobic comments.

Don't be so rude Velma

What? Even if it is properly puntuated and correctly spelled?

Are you sure? :puzzled:

..... LOL

I agree.

I'm not so OCD about how people may choose to input their posts. For me it's more about what they are saying, rather than the style of the text. Abother thing that annoys me are the Spelling Police, who think it's their solemn duty to put others down for any mis-spelled words. Of course, the Grammatical Social Workers aren't much better.

I know I'm a Noob but I have to say I do agree fully with this.

When the awful spelling, grammar and punctuation have been dealt with, will be the time to worry about the use of upper case letters.

Oh man LMAO!

Quite agree.People should be learned to write proper like what I do.

New members really piss us off :rolleyes:

Omg lol lol Spelling Police.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

er excuse me your only like 3 months old on here so dont take that tone with her missy

Okay i underSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how can capitals be beyond irritating? when you read something its no louder on the ears in capitals than in small. its not like we are going to go deaf by reading.
irritating is noisy drunks, barking dogs , lots of other things im sure you get the picture.
car number plates are in capitals yet i have never seen anybody wearing ear defenders walking through a carpark.
lets try keeping things in perspective and live and let live.

personally i find large images in sigs fairly trashy..but capitals not so much of a problem imo ... still if thats the rules then thats the rules i suppose

omg lol ,omg lol, omg lol,
Is that enough to prevent some of you verbally inept people
omg, lol!

That is the funniest thing i have "heard" this year! :cheer:

too many rules

LOL.


We were all new once. No need to look down on neewbies....

lmao spelling mods now ....

mods need to be looking more into double, & treble postings, ffs

so true

It you just type like a few words in capitals its not so bad, but if you type the title to a thread and a full paragraph of capitals it looks untidy and is against the rules.

But things need to be reported, if a thread has a problem with it, dont just start insulting the member please report it..

so why do mods let double, treble postings happen. why cant all named postings about h/m be moved to under one thread.
