New Infraction System - Page 2

It's just a friendly reminder that we are a site that "lives" by people posting, and we like to see them do it. There's no requirement, of course.

Infractions are issued for specific rule violations and always include a private message stating the reason for the infraction.

No offense intended, I'd have thought judging from John's initial post on this thread and through my own experience in this area that the reason(s) for getting infractions would've been explained to you.

Sometimes posts get deleted for reasons that might not pertain to you specifically, quoting other comments that have been deleted being one example.

All sites have their own rules and guidelines as to what is acceptable and not, posting in ALL CAPS or posting with no capitalization or punctuation are frowned upon in quite a few places; here, using "Lingo" is one of the specified no-no's to be found in the FAQ. I don't know whether "iunno" would be viewed as such or as a mispelled variant of I don't know that would probably fit the lingo definition as well. Just guessing, I'd project that you'd be better served using 'I'm' rather than opting too often to use "im", but thats just my good intentioned take.

Very good reply leftcoaster, I was thinking the same thing. One of the things that originally drew me to this site was the fact that people actually posted using decent grammar and punctuation, but I am finding this sliding a bit down the scale and it sometimes is hard to read these posts. An example would be the post you replied to, as I read it I said to myself is there such a word as infractured? Kind of like I keep hearing TOOKEN, DRIVED etc..

The standards haven't changed, Gabriel, so if you're actually seeing examples that we miss (since it's a very large site, and there are only so many staff members), hit the report post button and point them out, please.

ETA: Although with the examples you just gave, those are honest misspellings or mistakes, and that isn't the same as lingo. People aren't perfect, and we don't need those kinds of things reported.

I hear you on that Amanda, usually when I hear or see the words I mentioned in my post I generally chuckle. After all I am not the grammar police and I don't usually like correcting others. But if I see lingo(actually if I recognize it)I may just letyou know.

It's just hard sometimes adjusting to the different rules and you kind of get used to the way you usually type. Ill try to fix it. Thanks.

This is called shadow boxing. An even better way is to tie a guy up so he can’t move, and just keep hitting him. This is called punching a tied-up guy. Click me.
