Hey team
I am glad to say that I am now a member of this site and Im not sure exactly if you have rules or not, I really don't know I didn't do to much looking myself.

I have noticed alot of peoples TYPING here lately and it's kinda hard to read maybe for some users of the forums andmay take it as an offense or other means that may cause problems in the near future, anyways I strongly suggest for members to flag those post of people spelling like this

EX.

Lol ok thx dog I realy apreci. It TTYL

1. We are not texting each other on our phones.
2. This is not necessary and post should be to the point, staying on topic, as well as easy to understand, and read if you would like other members to consider you as a professional.

I am not trying to be a D*** to anyone or try to be an a** but I STRONGLY recommend the moderation team to enforce this as well.

Thank you
Lukear9

Okay, first thing first: Some users might not be able to do better for various reasons. It's the internet, after all, not all users have grown up with English, and those who have, might not be able to spell very well in the first place.
Second, it is the internet, not school. Sure, users will comment on others being uncomprehendable, but one thing is "I don't understand", another is punishing people for typing like that.
To be perfectly honest, I don't meet that kind of writing very often at all on the forums, so I can't say this actually bugs me enough for this to be added to any rules.
Further, it might create a big deal of annoyed users, who does not believe AG should dictate how they write.
Also: Internet.

Anyway, secondly: custom censoring of words are, however, against our rules, and should stop, thanks. The censors are there to do their job.

Oh and:

but I STRONGLY recommend the moderation team to enforce this as well.

We are enforcing the second part about being off topic and such. It's just that if we enforce it too hard, the site will die, because, while some believe so, the internet is not that srs of a bznz.

I understand completely with you. I am a moderator in multiple forums myself as well and we don't really enforce this rule eather to much unless it's just absolutely rediculus. I was simply making a suggestion so I really don't know why you were jumping on me about that and I apologize about the word censoring as well, I had no idea that was against the rules.

Now you know, and all is well.
Either way, not jumping anywhere here, really. I don't see people type like that very often, as stated, though you seem to be encountering them a lot somehow, which, of course, is annoying. At best, you can ask them if they wouldn't mind writing out their posts properly before submitting, but otherwise there isn't much to do from our side.
More so because I can't say much against people not being able to spell, when I screw up every so often myself.

One is simply stating that we are not there to tell you how to spell. Or teach you, for that matter.
Another is a matter of keeping the site out of trouble. The strict no-custom-censor is a choice made by the staff of this site.

I think, while these ideas certainly seem good in your head, trying to force people to type or speak in the way that you find acceptable may not be their standard way of writing. If that is how they type, they should be able to type however which way they want. Honestly, trying to change people is a fruitless task, especially on some forums.
