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.

Oooo_get_her 19-07-2009 09:22 AM

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

MrGaryy 19-07-2009 09:31 AM

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

bettiepage 19-07-2009 09:33 AM

Exactly. Stand up to all those noobs!

Daffodil 19-07-2009 09:34 AM

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

Kore 19-07-2009 09:35 AM

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

Novo 19-07-2009 09:37 AM

Haven't seen to much off it to be honest

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

MrGaryy 19-07-2009 09:40 AM

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.

bettiepage 19-07-2009 09:41 AM

Ok..... calm down.

Chuckyegg 19-07-2009 09:42 AM

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

Are you sure? :puzzled:

I agree.

calyman 19-07-2009 09:46 AM

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.

RCW1945 19-07-2009 09:48 AM

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

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.

so true

30stone 19-07-2009 03:45 PM

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..

haggis 19-07-2009 03:48 PM

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

patriot1 19-07-2009 03:48 PM
