If you think the forum is strict now, you should have seen it when I joined (In 2004). You wouldn't be able to say what was said above. The mods were so much more strict than they are now. I'm accually suprised how leanient they have gotten over the last year or so. I like that.

I think this forum is fun. I like learning new things about roller coasters that I never knew before. I do have to admit, some members are a bit "snooty" but for the most part, everyone here is nice to each other. They may have a differant view point of something then you do, but they're nice about it.

About the spelling and all that jazz, I totally see where the mods are getting to about this. They aren't here all the time to patrol every little detail of our posts. They want us to use correct grammer to make their lives a lot easier. Imagine having to fix every little thing in ever little post. That would take a long time. They wont care if you make a few errors, no body's perfect. They just want you to watch your grammer so its easy for others to read and to talk about.

About the deleting the posts, The mods are just deleting them because they don't want a huge fight between members. The only reason they delete a post is because they feel that it will start a fight. That's all.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

All I have to say, hojestly, is that if you cant deal with the semi-professional atmosphere of htese forums, which, I happen to know for a fact is what alot of people enjoy about this forum, then leave.... if it is so bad in your eyes, then why is it worth whining about it.


That is by no way an attack at anyone.

Well, I can see that this is a losing battle. I'm pretty sure I've made myself clear in the posts above that my main concern was people's posts getting deleted (Which, BTW, I mentioned I cleared that up with a mod) and some people's comments to others.

On the other hand, I too agree that it is not that hard to spell correctly and/or use proper grammar. I'm sure we're all educated enough to do so or go on dictionary.com to reference.

I would have to agree with the mods on this topic. Proper spelling and grammar are important and easy, and obviously no one wants to be liable for a false (or unconfirmed) statement (in which case, its usually deleted). And if you're 13, you should have learned 95% of the grammar you're going to know, and if you're to lazy to type it you're probably also too lasy to make a post worth reading.


And as said before, this forum is fun. There are many different good topics and not every post is "OMG tht is so awesomo!!lets make out or whatever (ex. MYSPACE). Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but it's nice to see a relatively intelligent website on the internet.
