    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    So say, if we post something in another language that translates to 5 english words, but only takes 3-4 of the other language, is that ok?

    Lol. That was a pretty nice idea. XD
    Yet, why do you want to write a post in another language than English? Except of course you'd make a "Let's all speak Russian!"-thread or something like that.

    I like this new rule.
    But I don't think it should be considered in MB - welcoming new members shouldn't force out too many words. (Although I like people who welcome new members saying more than just "welcome to TFF" (three words, but if you don't write TFF and instead write The Final Fantasy Forums, it'd be more than five words ).

    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    Honestly.

    Screw the 5 words thing. That's too gentle. A lot of people seem to be for this type of thing, so let's up the ante.

    200 characters, as was suggested. Also, must type grammatically correct. If you do not, the staff will edit your post to -be- grammatically correct. If you do not catch the hint after a certain amount of time...

    ...You will be banned. Capice? (Obviously there will be some lenience to those that English isn't their first language.. but at least use punctuation, yes?)


    Some of you may be thinking that something like this is extremely too harsh. But trust me, it works. I attend (occasionally) a forum that has this type of system in it, and the community is wonderful.

    It should be long enough to get a clear message out, but not so long that it turns people into monsters of redundancy. So I'm thinking. Like tots 750 characters, min.

    No. That's just a really silly rule to enforce, and not necessary at all. Banning members because their grammar isn't up to your standard is just borderline stupid. Sorry, not for it. In fact, I really hope you were being sarcastic.

    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    Xana, I'm pretty sure Victoria wasn't serious about that.
    It'd take DAYS to correct all the spelling mistakes. (And the staff isn't perfect either. ^^")
    Plus, it'd be way too much work to find out where a person comes from every time before editing the post.
    It'd probably work for about... 1 hour. Then all the mods would screw it.

    Besides, I've seen things like that in a forum I once was s-mod in - one of the mods REALLY corrected every member. And she even wanted to forbid them to post, UNTIL they've learned how to spell correctly. (Not to mention most of those didn't come to the forum anymore.) Goddamn how I hated this b....! <<"

    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    ...she wasn't being sarcastic, I can vouch for that - but I would not condone such behavior. It would be deplorable to warn/ban people for poor grammar. I'm sure a lot of the frustration in that post comes from the situation to begin with.

    We're too strict.
    We're too lenient.
    Oh, we're too strict again.
    Oh, we're too lenient again.

    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    I actually was serious.

    And obviously past spelling mistakes do not count. Just ones from here on out. And obviously the staff would be expanded, mods dedicated to correct spelling errors and such.

    And you don't need to find out where a person is coming from just to correct their spelling. I may have said 'grammar', but I really just meant 'spelling and punctuation'.

    Like I said, it may come off as really harsh and stupid, but seriously, it works. The community will be much better.

    And it's not "my standard". It's the "normal" standard. It's "typing normally".

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Edit: Cesar pretty much hit the nail on the head.
    -------------------------------------------------------


    Bottom line: Since the 5 words thing is being trolled to all hell, let's up it to 200 characters or so.

    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    If we really want to go with the character requirements, I can always modify the forums so that they automatically reject posts that don't meet the standards - a select few of you may recall when it was like that seven or eight years ago. Certainly, some forums would be excluded from that requirement.

    I don't particularly care to do that, but if the community moves in favor of it, I'm down with whatevs.

    yeah I remember that, I also remember people getting around it by just using quote replys as well for the words to count towards the 200 characters.

    Ah, okay, then I just misunderstood what you wanted to say, Victoria. ^^" I really thought you'd want to eliminate every single typing mistake. I don't like "ppl typing like dis" either. ^^" Mostly because I need some minutes to know what the person was writing about.
    THAT would be okay, but I'd rather warn the post instead of correcting it.

    But you did say that you don't want to be that strict when people don't speak English as their first language - so what about them now? How strict do you want to be?

    The IDEA of watching over grammar isn't that bad, but I really don't see how you can possibly DO that.


    @Cain: That'd be a pretty good idea, although it'd be bad for the word games.

    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    I think that is a bit harsh, the only person trolling this thread is che, to go out and say f it we are upping the ante to 200 characters because the majority of people are talking seriously about this thread and throwing ideas and queries into the mix is overboard.

    Don't get me wrong I am not saying it is a bad idea it just seems like that was altered because some one had the sh*ts, and I am not trying to troll or flame that just how it looks from my perspective I may be wrong.

    Also we have very little activity on this forum as it is compared to other FF forums don't you think being to strict will again reduce the activity or turn welcome members away to the other sites, don't we want to promote this forum not push everyone away.
    I understand about the grammar and or punctuation though.

    Considering the average English word has five letters, that is only 40 words (less if you include spaces as characters). I enjoy reading the well-thought, well-versed opinions of members. The short "go-nowhere" responses to threads are actually a bit annoying.

    As far as the activity, I wouldn't know. I am not a member of any other forum. Would you be able to show some evidence on this point. I know that when I was first searching for a Final Fantasy Forum, TFF was the first on the list of search results. These results were based on the number of times the term "Final Fantasy Forum" was actually searched. NOTE: This was in March, things may have changed in 6 months.

    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    The inactivity is due to a lot of schools starting and college courses continuing. I can speak for myself being busy from college and work. I don't think it's a bad idea for warnings to be handed out for a word "shortage", but it might cause more problems than it's worth. I do hate how ppl typ lik dis sometimes, it's annoying and hard to read.

    You cant end a sentence with 'with'... unless you are explaining to someone why they cant end a sentence with 'with'.

    ...yes you can. When writing informally. I say "to go with" all the time, when the subject is already clear.

    I was only being half serious. Apparantly you cant start a sentence off with 'but' either. Thats what I was taught anyway.

    This I agree with but if Alpha can't even punctuate his own sentences.
    What does me gusta mean?

    Edit: More seriously, deal with necroposting too/first. I'd also support a 'one piece of punctuation' minimum rule. Because if you can't even put a full stop at the end of your sentence then there is no hope
    Notice the absence of a full stop at the end and it is not edited I kid you not.

    Why would you include spaces as characters? Ok I agree there especially in theGeneral chat threads but what about the threads such as 'What was the laswt Cd you bought'
    Is a 200 character post still required and if so then I believe threads like this should be moved to the Humor Word forum, another thing the mods can clean up, any threads that suffice with a post less than 200 characters should all be moved to the HW forum.

    As far as the activity, I wouldn't know. I am not a member of any other forum. Would you be able to show some evidence on this point. I know that when I was first searching for a Final Fantasy Forum, TFF was the first on the list of search results. These results were based on the number of times the term "Final Fantasy Forum" was actually searched. NOTE: This was in March, things may have changed in 6 months.
    No comment.

    On another note I would be happy to be 'Chief three month old thread closer' seeing as I found threads with the latest activity January 2011 which would help prevent a lot of necro posting that Nix was talking about.
    Nix may have been the only one complaining but he had a point.

    Re: Spam (warnings) for everyone!

    Well, Vicky, I kind of agree with RamesisII when he pointed out that it could reduce activity. Being so pointlessly strict about how a person chooses to type out a post will just drive members away and that's not what these forums need. They need a boost of activity, not ways to reduce it.

    Also, you said everybody does a typo now and then and that they could be overlooked, but isn't that unfair on another member who is constantly being reprimanded just cuz dey tipe lyk dis? There's no way of that being fair or unbiased. You'd either have to warn every member for every single spelling/grammar mistake which in turn will just drive members away, or you can just forget the rule over all.

    And also, constantly having your posts corrected by people with sticks up their arses about the way a word is ****ing spelt is just embarrassing and unfair.

    I think characters is a good idea, actually. The five word limit is being trololololed (can't say it wasn't asked for either lol). Two-hundred characters seems reasonable, until people start leaving gibberish at the end of their post to make up for missing characters. ¬¬

    I don't care for editing posts "lyk dis" though. Quite honestly, I tend to hide from members like that. If we edit those posts, I'll have to read them, and I might actually like them because I don't know who they are.

    Plus, I can't be assed to spend my time editing other people's spelling, grammar, punctuation and post layout. Even mine isn't always perfect.

    200 character limitations are not bad and would be something that I would support. I think a well thought out post is better then 4 short unclear crappy ones. Then again if the thread starter takes the time to actually think out the OP then 200 character responces will follow in most cases.

    For instance: instead of a thread titled "who's your favorite blah blah blah" they could throw an "and why" into the mix and insite further longer responces. Then again there willalways be noobs that come back and state "Cloud because he pwns".

    As far as grammar police; this is a game site not a lit forum. There is no such need for peoples posts to be trolled by a mod looking for mistakes. In short I think thisidea is far fetched and not nessicary.

    lol, I couldn't imagine your inbox if that rule happened to come into place. I think they would have to hire your own personal grammar police person

    200 characters aren't necessary for threads like gen chat. People like loaf may only write out 1-2 sentences, but he gets his point across more effectively then someone like Andromeda for instance, who just dances around the topic and writes at least 100 paragraphs each post.
