Why oh why do we need new regulations for a 'problem' that can that easily be solved, namely by just letting by the 'uncorrectly formatted' post, means by simply ignoring it?? How would that benefit the poster? Why is it so extremely important to certain people, that others obey rules? Instead of pedantically correcting of semantic errors and pedantically remembering others how a post must look like before being accepted by the lords of the manors they should focuse on adequately giving help. This makes me feel that helping is not the main issue for these people, but punishing. Posting a question in the clearest English that the poster can muster is the best way to elicit a useful response. It also shows that the poster has some respect for the people who are going to give their time free of charge to help that person. By the way, I actually need more time to decipher the many typing errors in Erik's posts than to decipher any SMS style post. And that costly time is wasted to decipher SMS style is just ridiculous. Aren't we all here for free, or does anyone get money for his replies?? When Erik posts he is offering help. He does not make typing mistakes intentionally. When someone uses SMS they are doing it intentionally. There is a significant difference. Do you notice that nobody, until now, has complained about his typing errors? I have created and posted here more than 160 gif-pictures so far. Do you really think, that I have problems to invest 2 seconds for deciphering a SMS style post?? What is it, what certain members see with this place? Is it really to give help? Or is it to 'feel' important and mighty and have the license to punish and offend?? Don't you feel it would be nice if people showed you a little respect for all that hard work? What do this people profit from beating a newbie, instead of reaching a helping hand?? Very strange to me... Nobody wants to beat a newbie. This is precisely why I've suggested that the site might be modified to prevent SMS being posted in the first place. Kai |
