first off i wanna admit, yes, i am 21 in a few months, but i dont care :P

a good few years back i was a massive dragon ball fan. (apparently lupe fiasco is/was as well.) im not into it so much now but i still find myself watching scenes on youtube for some nostalgia and i keep with news on whats being released and what not.

now, stumbling on a site i used a lot before and still use it now and again i stumbled on the forum. and thats when things got serious. no, i am NOT a part of a dragon ball forum.

and i quote:

RULE #1: GRAMMAR

You are typing on a message board. You want people to understand what you are saying. Be sure to use proper sentence structure when you write. Also, be sure you are adding in punctuation and spacing where appropriate. The first letter of every sentence is capitalized. Statements end with periods. Questions end with question marks. There is a space in between sentences. Please also put a paragraph break between thoughts. You don't want to look like a fool, and we do not want you to make us look like idiots for allowing you to post that way!


now, while near every forum has a grammar rule this shit is beyond funny.

We have even typed up a special, if you will, "Grammar Primer" that we encourage all present and new members to check out. Following this style-guide will certainly help you fit in around here... not to mention help your over-all writing! Also, we would greatly appreciate it if you would not post in any colors other than the default black. It just looks childish.


lmao, oh lawd.

upon clicking the 'grammar primer' is basically the same only worded differently with 'english hints' if you, ya know, dont know how to capitalize, forget the use of periods. basically its a english lesson. http://daizex.fanboyreview.net/viewtopic.php?t=1179

what i find funny is that the guys that run the site are what, late 20's early 30's? maybe more? and they want everyone on the forum to act like theyre taking a fucking english exam to make THEM feel better, YOU feel better, and for you to 'fit in' and not look like a douche.

Damn, that's stupid lol. Fair enough wanting proper use of grammar and stuff, but damn, no need for all that, just let people type how they feel most comfortable

Outlandish disregard for typing properly is subject to being corrected in red by moderators. This is intended to give people a somewhat-snide little "heads-up" that they agreed to these rules and are expected to type properly. Not every little mistake will be corrected (especially those from our foreign, non-native-English-speaking visitors), but if you find yourself subject to these corrections, it may be time to re-evaluate your posting style (a.k.a. "Seriously... you're above the age of ten and live in suburban America; for goodness sake, use a period!").
