Correcting members spelling errors and grammar

If you are going to correct someones grammar or spelling then PM them the corrections. Don't insult them as that is counter productive.
Some mistakes are just that, typos or just don't know how to spell.

I think correcting other peoples posts should be considered spam if they are off topic.
If it is to clarify their post then that is acceptable but if the mistake can be easily understood then correcting them is spam and the correcting post should be deleted.

I would like the moderators to consider this when reading the forum posts and take action if necessary.

Re: Correcting members spelling errors and grammar

Probably directed at me? :lol:

When someone makes the same mistake 80 times, and I correct them everytime and they don't fix it, I will correct them until it sinks in, "they" don't know they spelled it wrong because you keep removing the post before they see it. -__-

I am not going to waste my time PM'ing 300 times day, PM's are for important things, not petty things...

Re: Correcting members spelling errors and grammar

How would you delete and correct something? If you delete it, it's well, deleted, gone.

Re: Correcting members spelling errors and grammar

This is aimed at all the grammar nazis so yes it is aimed at you but not exclusively.
The correcting posts are starting to get annoying even to the members who are not the targets of them.
If you think it is important enough to correct someone's mistake then it is important enough to put it in a PM to that person.
What Alloy is trying to say is that he will delete the post that is correcting and correct the post that it is aimed at.

Re: Correcting members spelling errors and grammar

I just comment on spelling that's funny, not the little things. Like recently pulse said something about "I won't let my guess down" Which was supposed to be guard. Most of the time I just quote them and say a joke about it.

Re: Correcting members spelling errors and grammar

I have no problem with it if it is a question of clarity but some of the posts were getting nasty with it which helps no one.
