Let us all start improving MoD a step at a time. This is my first baby step in doing so.
We can always start off with the basics. Remember when we first learned how to write?
1) Remember to use capital letters sparingly (or only for the beginning of sentences and proper nouns)
2) Never ever use more than one exclamation mark in a sentence. Ever. Unless you're too hyped on sugar. That's forgivable.
3) Use full stops and commas where appropriate! The full stop or period is the little black dot at the end of sentences. Do use them.
4) Do not use abbreviations or acronyms if only you yourself can understand them. So use them wisely.
5) Proper grammar and spelling are recommended too.
6) Try to make an effort in writing proper sentences. One word sentences or sentences which are too long will be frowned upon.
7) Please stop random quoting.
You may think that your current style of writing is cool and awesome, but seriously, if you just ramble on with nonsensical words and random trolling, you are gaining no one's respect.
like srsly? u guys suxxo!r!!1 zzanarh ftw
-note- More to come soon.

A double exclamation mark is acceptable, it implies hurriedness rather than just loudness

I think I like the idea Taarel is going with, but Im not about to require all people jump on board with it and stop all abnormal posting stlyes, though I would certainly appreciate any efforts you guys take to have a formal tone and to write in an easier to read format.

Nice ideas, but I don't think GRAAMAR is what is important.
What's important is not being....I'm just gonna go ahead and sound like a child. Jerks to members. Try to improve on friendliness. This'll be my last post for a while. I may check back in.

Like I said, being on a sugar rush is acceptable. ;D I am just saying that we should cut down on unorthodox posts when posting in formal threads. The Everything Else and Role Playing Game Forums are always there for people to have fun. We have all seen topics where great ideas have been exchanged and ultimately degenerated into a nervous wreck after countless troll-posts and spam messages. It may be fun for the trolls and spammers, but for the rest of us, it is just bloody frustrating. If you had not noticed, many members have recently left MoD because of this. The forums are here to allow us to have meaningful and intelligent discussions, not mindless rambling. EDIT: Oh noes. Am I becoming a grammar/post Nazi?  |

Wouldn't call it being a nazi,
course most of the others might for having a conflicting view
of wanting mod to be more like before we moved it here.

Aegis stop trolling ideas you don't agree with. Honestly, this is something that can do a world of good for the forum. because he's right, members are leaving mod at a startling rate.

very few people care is more correct ToC as I'm
one of the ones that enjoyed mod back in the
day before we moved it here and the members
went into the mentility of "new forum set, the old rules must not apply anymore."
and would like it closer to it being what it was.
