Well thanks . ATRL use the term flamebait and iconic too loosely. Lets not

I usually don't complain in here but I can't believe a mod cleared this thread: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=274022

You know exactly what's going to happen.

I know what has a high chance of happening, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
I'm not gonna close every single thead that has a chance to derail
We'll see

DJ Tiesto shading Gaga is news, but selling 111 million records isn't news. Interesting.

oop

Ask Phoentic for the tea on it then.

One should be posted in another already existing thread (if I remember correctly), the other can't and therefore should have its own thread.

I think the avatar probably had some form of swearing in it? Because the censorship indeed counts for everything, including avatars/signatures/gifs.
Nicknames in signatures are allowed.

Yep.
Many don't realize that a lot of people don't have English as their motherlanguage.
You can't expect them to talk perfect English.

Thanks to the mod that closed that thread.

I did.
It indeed didn't end up well

It's always disappointing to see people get upset over grammar issues because it's actually a really great thing to have all kinds of worldly opinions on this forum.

Plus, for inexperienced English speakers, being on a forum like this is probably very useful to them in acquiring English writing skills.

I agree with you. I find its mostly the younger crow that,harps on grammar.

One spelling mistake wouldn't bother me too much personally. However, I do find the way that many people write on here to be quite annoying. Like many people, I tend to read quite quickly and I am used to reading books, magazines, newspapers etc., where the spelling is always correct. I don't have to read every single word in a sentence, I can just look at it and understand the meaning. But when people misspell things like saying "u r" instead of "you are" it takes me longer to read because my mind does not automatically understand the misspelling. I have to slow down how I normally read and do it word by word. It's slow and extremely annoying. The person writing it may be saved about 2 seconds by not spelling correctly, but if it takes me twice as long to understand something, I am just not interested in reading it. If people want to get answers to their questions they should do the considerate thing and make sure they are easily understood.

Can I ask to see how many wps a person has or will I not get told

Sleep with one of the mods. Worked for me.

Um, this post makes me feel uncomfortable as a minor....

uh

Oh so that's your excuse for your appalling posts. It all makes sense now!

But its also annoying to see people like Kisuke and Kh-Loud who misspell and **** up grammar on purpose and try to sound 'ghetto'. It shows that they dont have any respect for this forum's readers.
