A new rule

Post by hiddensavage » Fri Nov 22, 2013 2:05 am

I am suggesting a new rule that goes along with only English in global.
It will help many players that are OCD about grammar and capitalization.
I Am Suggesting That You Ban Speech Like This.
There are a few reasons:
1. It is completely irrational and impractical, it is a waste of time and does not make your message any clearer.
2. There are many players who would fully support this.
3. It annoys many players a lot.
For the reasons above and maybe even more,
I am suggesting that that type of speech be disallowed.

I wouldn't say it's worthy a ban but it's very annoying indeed. My eyes start bleeding everytime I see someone typing like that. I don't know where they learned to type like that. Wouldn't their English teacher get mad at them for doing it?

Would be nice if something was done about it. Defiantly not a ban though, maybe just tell them not to, if they dont listen, a very short mute(1 min? 1/2 min?)

I just want to say that's taking grammar police to a new level, although it is annoying when people don't spell things correctly, this isn't an english class. It's suppose to be fun not a grammar test!

Lol. Ouch.


I think the rule for capitalization on each word should definitely NOT be added, as mentioned before, it's their style of typing and you can't take that away from someone. Obviously, they can learn not to do so. Yes, it hurts, yes, it is annoying, no, it shouldn't be punished. It just feels as if you would tell someone to stop riding their bike or so...

I agree to the English in global rule though. We, as staff (in my opinion), have to tell players that thing very often, mainly french players. Sometimes, they don't understand us, other times, they don't listen, and other times they're "loyal" and do listen.
