You know, this might actually work.At the very least, it will cut down on the amount of people who....* type with poor spelling* use poor grammar* type in all caps* use multiple exclamation points.* use leet-speak* use an overly excessive amount of repeating letters in a word... and other things like that. I am looking forward to this, if of course it truly can be pulled off.
Incubusnb, It was his point, and the kind of errors he mentioned, should have been picked up by anyone familiar with the English language. You only found one problem? Is English your mother tongue? Some of the same errors he made are typical of your writing. Check it out. Unfortunately for you, my "elitist attitude" is something I got in grammar school. I realize you kids today aren't getting that. Rather that throw the baby of grammar out with the bathwater of arrogance you would do your points some good by perfecting your writing so that your comments would be valued instead of wasted as you admit. Corrections: "internet" should be = Internet."i" should be = I."dribble" should be = drivel. "not?" should have the question mark at the end of the question. "line" should have ended with a period. "if" should be capitalized at the beginning of the sentence = If. "censorship" you caught and should be censorship."get" should be "gets" but it's still an improper sentence. TreDubZedd understood my point perfectly, AND the "Check Spelling" button is right at the bottom of the posting window. Use it.
I don't like this I have the right to say something stupid, for realz this is just the beginning. Then they are gonna filter sexual comments then words like "f**k" "s**t" and so on, The Internet shouldn't be filtered. Spam filters are ok, cuz that's a f**king bot, but human produced ideas shouldn't be filtered. What difference would it make? f**king trolls would turn to other ways to annoy once the old methods have been disapproved.
