Thread: Let's start a grassroots movement against unintelligble posts

Hey! I agree! Some claim to be over 18 in their profiles but still act like they're still 12. Amazing isn't it?

I doubt the mods would take kindly to us people flaming the morons, as fun as it would be.

They'll either leave, or learn the fundamentals of writing. The Overclocked ReMix board works like this to great success, and it is one of most lively and invigorating forums I have been to.

I'm hoping this doesn't offend the mods or anything, as that wasn't my intent. Just an idea.

Absolutely that will NOT HAPPEND period. NONE OF YOU have any right to correct the members of this community. If a member writes in a way that only him/her can understand it will be handled by the members of the staff ONLY.

Any attempt to do something like this (harrasment by the regular members) is against the forum rules and it will be handled the hardest way possible as stated in the same rules, that will include public humilliation against the member (yeah we will humilliate you in public so don't test us)....

And here is the portion of the rules that will take effect:

-Don't be an @$$hole. Flaming, excessive swearing, sexual posts, harrassment or generally hostile attitude will result in immediate banning. Just be respectful of others.

...

- Violation of these rules can (and will) result in any of the following: thread closure, warning, public humiliation, temporary suspension of account, permanant banning from AnimeOnline.

Case closed and sealed....
