IanB 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Anyone using this will now get a set ban from posting of 3 days, and all posts made by the member will be moderated for 7 days.... after this if you still keep at it your banned... Theres plenty of warnings on the top of each forum already, seems many aren't taking note Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Any chance you can deputise some TXT Stormtroopers? People who would take great delight in burning the people that f**k with our traditions by not using the Queen's English? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scuba1 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Now my spelling is not up to much at the best of times and neither is my reading ( not being from the UK and all that ) but when people text talk I just loose it and jump what ever they have written on a thread. Ian, where is the T9 icon on the menu bar ¿?¿ :rofl: ATB thats Always Talking Bollthings to you Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 So, what's the craic, Ian? The " [banned Text] " thing not working well enough? Surely the idiots who use it a few times and see the results must learn eventually? Of course, I can see how we get three or four fresh idiots a day joining here Anyway, my own point is; What about the Chat Room, mate? I enforce only what I understand to be Your Rules in there. I adopt such rules from out here. I'll equelly enforce a No Text Talk ruke there too. Suits me. I have to watch every word spoken in there and reading some of the ~ well, what can ye call it? It's not typed speech, 'Jim'. Only snag, for me, is the twin edged sword effect. Eg. I type " Ye ", because (due to my accent / dialect) I very seldom pronounce the vowels 'ou' in natural speech. Not " Text Talk ", so I expect to get away with it. But a great many Chatters are Scott's. Where do I draw the line? Do I stamp out, " Iee. Ah wos oot way tha dugs the day. " ? Because that's how many of them go on. Not 'Text Talk'. But f*cking hard work! But stop that ~ them typing as they translate their own manner of speech ~ and I'd be strung up for typing " ye ". One of my own idiosynchrasies. Anyway, as I always explain to people: You're the site owner. You make the rules. I just enforce them. Entirely up to you if ye have a ruling on the above. If so, let me know and I'll work to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
