or at least it was a contributing factor to thier bans.

Like Milo has said, this statement is 100% false.

Comet was due to the bantrap and Reaper was banned after multiple warnings and posting offensive/inappropriate comments on the forums and on the server.

Don't spread lies. If we did ban people for grammar 90% of our user-base would be gone.

Whats wrong with l33t??
ARE YOU CRAZY!?
I dont understand l33t speakers. More effort is needed to form gibberish words out of various symbols than it is to type English properly.

I view l337 speak as an art form ;3
You need to know how to form letters with random bits of whatever so that it forms words.

well, some people also think that Hiphop is a form of art, some even think it is music. But that doesn't mean that everybody has to agree with that. :mrgreen:

Lest anyone forget, since someone thought they needed to necro this thread - this is direct from the rules:

No jumping on every post with bad English, bad grammar, and/or typos. If your only contribution is to chastise someone for what they have written, zip it. Multiple infractions are punishable by ban, so if you have nothing good to say, don't post at all.
Before all else, be armed. -Machiavelli

I'm assuming that, in this case, the word 'some' is being used to represent the same quantity of swearing as the word 'kiloblackadder' is used for TNT quantities.

It's becoming more of a trend to haphazardly slap your hands on the keyboard and post whatever you think is important. I know that most of our users are above the age of 14, so therefore most of you have the basic understanding of how to capitalize the beginning of your own sentences. Most (if not all) modern web browsers have a built-in spell checking function as well. Use it.

Every time I see a post that looks like it was written by retarded howler monkey, I want to reach through my monitor and choke you.

Much love,
SneakyPie
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Today, I counted 22 consecutive posts, which had no trace of capitalization, what-so-ever. I felt like screaming...

=_= If you have learnt the English language as a secondary tongue, you have an excuse. Otherwise, learn proper syntax.

It's not that hard...

I don't think I'm too literate. I do know that I can't read that anymore than I can read fancy scripting fonts. And trying to read things like that do actually give me migraines. It's one of my many migraine triggers.

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
