some mod... Options

[sporadic]

should go through every CBers signature and correct all the grammatical/spelling errors (or at least the heinous ones that make your eyes bleed)

[sweetxsimplicity]

That would take months..

[hi-C]

should go through every CBers signature and correct all the grammatical/spelling errors (or at least the heinous ones that make your eyes bleed)

LOL, truly. But yeah, it would take too long to do that.

But I admit, a spell check/grammar check would really be nice.

[*wind&fire*]

give us an example aite then ill reply... i see nothing wrong

[f00LisH_h3aRt63]

not only that but i've noticed that a lot of the members signatures are WAY TOO BIG!! so EVERYONE go read the COMMUNITY GUIDELINES and make sure ur signature is the right size and that ur images arent wide so it doesnt stretch out the threads. thx.

[tootsie_kiddo]

same here. i see no stupid spelling errors in signatures

[waccoon]

same here. i see no stupid spelling errors in signatures

It's xanga, not xangur.

[captured_serenit...]

i think people should do that on their own time.

[innovation]

hmm.. correct grammar and spelling as a CB law?

[*Weird addiction*]

It's xanga, not xangur.

lol...true!

[JessJR1022]

lol, time consuming though.....

[waccoon]

lol...true!

It's not xanguhhh either.

[sunissed14127]

that would take too long lol...but good idea

[hi-C]

hmm.. correct grammar and spelling as a CB law?

Damn right.

[*[2]Nekked*]

why should that be a mods job? theyre mods.. theyre here to enforce the rules, not to be your spell checker.

[happygoluckyng]

maybe some ppl wanna put it like that....like me...it's on a couple words but when ppl type lIkE dIs...that's stupid to me....no offense to anyone

[ghjgfkgfk]

this is kind of off topic, but whatever.

i don't think images in signatures should be allowed. at all. they take forever to load. they're pointless. they make the page look ugly. they make me scroll too much. i'm whiny today.

[*tweeak*]

That would take months..

no, you could do only the ones who actually have decent amount of posts per day. i think its a great idea. gramatical errors piss me off

why should that be a mods job? theyre mods.. theyre here to enforce the rules, not to be your spell checker.

it would be the mods job because theyre the ones with the power to change them

i think people should do that on their own time. 

yes but the point is that people dont. for example, they dont use common sense to notice that xanga is spelled xanga and only xanga, aint is not a word, and typing with partial 1337 is not cool

[LiLEthiopian]

Nekked,Nov 1 2004, 12:51 PM] why should that be a mods job? theyre mods.. theyre here to enforce the rules, not to be your spell checker.

i agree.

and who cares if its not spelled rite??..its their SIGNATURE.

i just think the ones that have those HUGE pictures that take half the page should be adressed..but it's not the mods fault.

edit//...i had to edit my spelling error due to some complaints..lol.

hey..atleast i acknowledged my mistake..

[*tweeak*]

and who cares if its not spelled rite??..its they're SIGNATURE.

speaking of gramatical errors...*cough*

[LiLEthiopian]

THEIR ...haha..yea u caught me there..

all better

[xscore]

It's not xanguhhh either.

hahahahah

[*[2]Nekked*]

the mods dont really give a crap (and shouldnt, either) about your signature unless it contains offensive material, or if it surpasses the pixel dimensions that they have set in the rules.

[*autumn.*]

i agree.

and who cares if its not spelled rite??..its they're SIGNATURE.

i just think the ones that have those HUGE pictures that take half the page should be adressed..but it's not the mods fault.

eep, one more. right*

NOW it's all better

[*tweeak*]

eep, one more. right*

NOW it's all better

ah yes, how did i miss that?

[inthemudhole]

If I were a mod.. I'd do that.. or at least the really annoying ones.. like all the >>>CLICKIE FO MAH XANGURR<<< things.. and if people used "your"/"you're" incorrectly.. stuff like that.
I don't know if I'd do EVERYONE'S signatures that have errors.. just the ones that piss me off.

[LiLEthiopian]

eep, one more.  right*

NOW it's all better 

..that one was spelled like that on purpose..cuz i'm online..and i don't feel like adding the g and h.


Nice Try..

[*tweeak*]

sure it was intentional, but that was the point of this thread. DOWN WITH THE ACRONYMS

you can choose to not view people's signatures if they take forever to load on your comp go to your board settings... kthx

[*Expresseggroll*]

if the mods did that, then the people with those bad sigs would learn nothing.

My grammer sucks

[*AngelicEyz00*]

y'know what, it's people's own individual signature and they should feel free to write whatever the hell they want in it... whether or not it's all gramatically correct and all that

[*Expresseggroll*]

yea, the grammer can be left along, it's their unique style.

i think some sigs that has offensive material should be removed. (rape, murder, all the sins in the bible or whatever)

Nah. I just think it'd be better if people would RESIZE their images instead of just letting them take up the entire damn page.
I think most people just do it for attention.
Anywho, let's keep the images.

it would be the mods job because theyre the ones with the power to change them

I don't think the mods should go around and pick up after every single idiotic individual around CB that can't do it themselves.
Yes, people don't actually do it themselves, but then maybe the mods should just empty out their sigs and suspend it for a day, or something.
At least that'd be better than having them FIXING it for the lazy-arse people.
I mean, they already have enough on their plates to worry about.

[*tweeak*]

if the mods did that, then the people with those bad sigs would learn nothing.

My grammer sucks

but theyre not learning anything, because when i correct people i just get bitched at

[Flaunted]

but theyre not learning anything, because when i correct people i just get bitched at

......are we trying to learn grammar here?
its they're own signature they can do whatever they want.
i mean think about it.
i wouldn't want the mods to mess around with my sig for grammatical errors.

[I.Luff.Emo.Boys.]

It's xanga, not xangur.

yeah but xangur is a nickname for xanga.

[*tweeak*]

......are we trying to learn grammar here?
its they're own signature they can do whatever they want.

i wouldn't want the mods to mess around with my sig for grammatical errors.

i wasnt actually referring to sigs. i meant in conversation, when they try to argue with me and wind up sounding like a 4 year old

[NatiMarie]

Well mods should only fix the overly...HUGE signatures.
x]
Grammar stuff, well, that should be left alone because if people want to look like idiots, then so be it.
;]
Their own fault.
=D

[*tweeak*]

alright, i will admit, its a rather dumb idea, i just with people wouldnt be so stupid.

[DaTru KataLYST]

Uhh what are we the grammar police? Stop the frickin policing on someone's English.

And it's THEIR signature, we can set limits on their usage, but you can't TELL them they have to be correct in English grammar. Why not just make the board an online English class? Jeez. Someone spells Xanga as Xangurrr, big fcuking deal! We're all trying to be unique here, let them have their unusual spelling!

[*tweeak*]

its not uniqueness, its stupidity. and its aggrivating. i dont know about you, but i like to talk to intellegent people. and one good way to tell if someone is smart is by their grammar. for example, this xanga is from a girl i know who is one of the highest positioned girls in the grade, but youd never know it from the ways she talks (oh, if you visit it, dont leave her a comment)

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

That would take months..

hahah very true... but it would be nice.

You can't take it upon yourself to choose what is stupid and what is unique. It's like a abstract painting. You say its stupid, I say its uniqueness. We can both be right, or we can both be wrong, but neither can be as right as the other. But since it is THEIR signature (THEIR space to write in) they're allowed to write as kaflabbalistically as they want. It may be aggravating to you, but hey, just like what Elba said, tell your cookies to disallow sig viewing on your board settings.

You can think she's being stupid for writing like that, but I don't think I'd judge people's IQ by how they write 'Xanga'.

And if people tYpE LiYke dIzss, just don't bother to read it.


--

O watch how I am being annoying:

Hey, you spelled aggravating wrong, "its" is supposed to be "it's" and every letter in the beginning of a sentence is capatalized. Don't forget to add a colon in contractions, and capitalize your solo 'I'.

^ If someone did that to me everytime I posted, I'd be greatly AGGRAVATED. So stop being a hypocrite.

[*tweeak*]

id rather be hypocritical than commercial

[DaTru KataLYST]

id rather be hypocritical than commercial

How is being unique being commercial??

You are being unique because you're not writing grammatically correct. How can you then be hypocritical, yet not be commercial?

What you're saying is that if you type "Xanga" as "Xangurr" or have a grammar error, you're being commercial.

Read through your posts, tell me if they're grammatically correct. No, they're not.
Thus, because of your own words, you're being commercial.

Now you're not only being hypocrite, but you're also being commercial.

Enlighten me on why you want to screw yourself over?

[*tweeak*]

when half the internet is tYpinGgg lYk dIsS, it looses all similation of uniqueness. i wasnt even referring to gramatical correctness in punctuation or typos, but rather using words, and just being generally legible

[faithin_felix]

That would take months..

it'd only take a day if you work hard. =D

[DaTru KataLYST]

when half the internet is tYpinGgg lYk dIsS, it looses all similation of uniqueness. i wasnt even referring to gramatical correctness in punctuation or typos, but rather using words, and just being generally legible

And what makes you think you have the right to enforce others to type Xanga instead of Xangur. What is your right to tell others to stop TypING lIkE dIs?

I hate sticky caps too, they're hella hard to read. But I'm not gonna bust on them about it. It's their writing, I just don't have to decipher it.

Since you want to challenge me about my views, you say that you don't care about punctuation and grammar errors. You say you are only talking about legibility (on the internet???) and their usage of words. I see you correcting people on this thread about their grammar usage. You're still being hypocritical.

Once again, don't like it? Deactivate sig viewing. Stop bishing when there is a choice.

[acidbreeze]

I just disable viewing signatures, because I don't effin care about your piece of crap site, or some hideous picture of you.

[*tweeak*]

deactivate sig viewing? nothing i was saying was relating directly to sigs, but instead just typing in general. if you dont have to desipher their writing, than it was pointless for them to type it at all. things are written to be read, not ignored. my right to say they should spell xanga as xanga? im pretty sure the fact that the sait is called xanga and not xangurrr should cover that one. you cannot use the people i corrected on this thread as an example because this is a thread about grammar, and thus it makes sense to correct that which is incorrect. so yes, it is about legibility.

[expoised]

*ahem* .... who had the sig that said ...

just the another day in the hood, just the another day... feeling good in a drunken way

....who remembers....

we should like...

just *correction* no the */correction*another day in the hood, just *correction* no the */correction*another day... feeling good in a drunken way

plz learn english grammer. kthxbai.

[DaTru KataLYST]

you cannot use the people i corrected on this thread as an example because this is a thread about grammar, and thus it makes sense to correct that which is incorrect. so yes, it is about legibility.

Then why are you arguing with me about convo talk? The way you write, I have to decipher it. It may not be as intense as sticky caps, but it still takes time for me to understand your typing.

I originally was blasting grammar cops and people who are trying to invade other peoples' sigs. Now I don't know why you are arguing with me. Since we are talking about different things, let's just discontinue this and wait till a topic like "It's Xanga, not Xangurr" comes up, ok?


[EDIT] Why in the hell were you arguing with me about any non-sig correcting on this thread anyways? Since you say that I can't use this thread as example against you because you're talking about "convos, not sigs", you shouldn't be able to argue with me about anything but signatures and their grammar on this thread.

[Chaos13]

kinda lame topic i suppose...it would be also lame if someone was trying to correct every posts and topics everyone made!

i agree.

and who cares if its not spelled rite??..its they're SIGNATURE.

i just think the ones that have those HUGE pictures that take half the page should be adressed..but it's not the mods fault.

u spelled "their" wrong...does not matter anyways!

[*[2]Nekked*]

im sorry but im going to have to repeat this


theres is nothing in the member guidelines that say that your signatures must be grammatically correct. yknow what some people arent as fortunate as you to have grown up in America, with English as their first language. That probably would be much easier, huh? Are you aware that some of the members here dont even LIVE in America? I actually just moved here and learned English a couple years ago, so I know my grammar isnt totally perfect, and I wouldnt want anyone rubbing that in my face by going around altering my personal space just because I used the wrong "Its/It's" and "you're/your"

And maybe sometimes it's deliberate, but yknow I dont see how that's any of your business. If it bothers you so much, then don't read it. Yes I know it's annoying, but that's why I dont bother to read anything that is impossible to understand. It isn't worth my time if THEY can't take the time to not speak like a total retard.

They're MODERATORS... they aren't your moms; if people cant figure out how to speak by now, I don't see why it should be the staff's job to do it for you. Don't you think the moderators have enough shit to do all day for you guys?

yknow what, i'm not even gonna assume.

i KNOW how much the moderators already have to do for us, because i WAS a mod, and asking them to go through EVERY cb members signature just to edit something that really doesnt need to be touched is just stupid.

if someone told me i had to do that ontop of accepting skins, uploading images, closing topics, answering peoples questions, enforcing all the rules, i would FLIP OUT.

yep this is so true, so someone start putting nude in their sig, lol. no trish, ur grammer sounds fine to me, i understand every single word ur saying. and thats right theres way too many members. so why dont the person who started just grow up and live with it. don't go like OMG! Ewww, cuz man, in reality its all there. so shutup and live with it. and kissing your ass part is just hilarous. LOL

Don't worry Trish, I'm not.

[*[2]Nekked*]

can we close this now?

[x emo screamo x]

There should be some automatic spell corrector when you post. If possible.

Otherwise I would suggest typing any signature in microsoft word before putting it up here.

[waccoon]

It's not a rule.

[BigPappaSmurf]

It bothers me a lot when I see a siggy like that, but not enough to make me angry..lol...

[*autumn.*]

kinda lame topic i suppose...it would be also lame if someone was trying to correct every posts and topics everyone made!



u spelled "their" wrong...does not matter anyways!

haha we've been through this before.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

this is a lame topic. lol but its ok.
umm I don't care if people can't spell. One of my friends is the worst speller ever, but it doesn't matter, none of this matters. It only bugs me when they type like this:

I mEt ThIs ReAlLy CuTe GuY tOdAy AnD hE wAs ReAlLy SwEeT aNd ReAlLy BlAh BlAh bLaH

..
...
Hey Liz? You can do it.

[LatinaLady]

i think people should do that on their own time.

they'll never do it. they thing writing. "cHeCk oUt mah XaNgUr pluh-lease" is in

[Xenon]

wow u will be the most craziest person i will know if u do it

[wayne]

i think that every member should go through their own sig and correct it... i mean.. are we really going to read everyone's sigs and se if the yspelled 1 word wrong? thats kinda anal.. dont u think?

[whywasisostupid]

actulay, i disagree cuz i am truly a terrible speller.

[jambaJUICE]

It's not xanguhhh either.

Lol.. Thats just taking it too far.

Thats a good idea.. But the mods aren`t their mommies.

[shawty_redd]

spell chek wh0 n33ds !t

[faithin_felix]

you're all big enough to live with it. so yea, like trish said can someone close topic.

i just PM them and tell em to change it

[darkcoldplace]

also they should fix if someone is bashing or talking innapropriate about another member :/

[ghjgfkgfk]

you can choose to not view people's signatures if they take forever to load on your comp go to your board settings... kthx

ooh, i never knew that

[lilxroxy]

That would take months..

i agree

[literemix24]

o.O i guess you're righ..

[dani41790]

uhh why does it matter? if it bothers you then u shouldn look at it then

[*Weird addiction*]

It's not xanguhhh either.

hahahaha i know....its xanga!! i almost wrote xanger

[lil_shadow]

i dont think its anyof ur business what their sig looks like..its their own. and if they want to spell it xanguh or xangerrr or w/e they can do it as long as its not directly offensive to you..anyways thats my opinion.

[*stephinika*]

hmm yeh its annoying but to have someone actually go through and check? that would take forever. and people could just change it back if they wanted to...
