Personally, I don't mind hanging out with people who can't write for squat, but maybe that's just because I don't smell like a dumpster fire myself.😁

If a post doesn't make me want to reply—whether it's because it's illiterate or just garbage content—then I'm staying silent. But if I post something that triggers a reaction through my content or the way I write... well... hey... this is a forum!
You get the chance to take shots, but you also get hit back.

Bad grammar is ugly, it looks trashy, and it stinks; it basically screams that someone has totally given up on themselves. But just because someone writes like they've never seen an English textbook doesn't mean they're actually ugly, smelly, or a total wreck in real life.

What Ryan Long61 is saying just isn't doable on a forum like this. Like Samuel Morgan40 pointed out, it's a good intention—trying to teach people how to write better isn't a crime—but technically? It’s impossible.

And as for birds flocking together or people just popping in whenever they feel like it... that's just how it works. I don't see any problem with it.🤷
Everyone is free to post when they feel like it, and stay quiet when they don't.🙂

It's not like I'm trying to dictate which posts other users should answer and which ones they shouldn't.

I honestly believe that even "those who aren't great writers" can contribute something valuable to a discussion.

Sure, some random user over on the 'Home Improvement' subforum might not sound as sophisticated as Nicholas King, but they might give you killer advice on picking out flooring, siding, or laminate.

Some guy at Home Depot could drop an amazing recipe for cookies on the food board, and it really shouldn't matter if he misspells "milk," "sugar," or "cake."

Just imagine if the guys in the 'Music' subforum refused to talk to anyone who didn't play guitar or drums, treating them like some kind of nuisance polluting the threads with "stupid" messages because they don't know how many strings are on a Fender.

We could go on forever...

It's easy to say birds of a feather flock together, but we'll never know why a duck tries to pick a fight with a goose when the opportunity arises.😕
Maybe poultry isn't technically part of the bird family, but whatever, this is a forum. I can keep rambling until the mods kick me out to go take a break from posting messages full of typos and broken grammar.😁

northernwolf3 said:Yeah, I mean, if all else fails, at least you'll know if the person smells like garbage or actually uses deodorant.
Honestly, you don't even need to waste your breath responding to those absolute trash posts. Seriously. Some people just can't write to save their lives. Just let them shout into the void.
And that's exactly how you flush all your hard work and time right down the drain.🧐
Whatever... birds of a feather flock together, I guess.

I really hope you’re kidding me. You actually just reminded me of Oscar Wilde—who, by the way, was pretty picky about who he hung out with. He used to say something like: "I choose my friends based on beauty, my acquaintances based on good intentions, and my enemies based on their wisdom. A person needs to be careful—maybe even overly cautious—when picking their inner circle."

An online grammar police force? Honestly, I am all for it!🤣

It would be killer if you could just highlight the mistakes in red, and then slap an "edit by štojaznati" tag right underneath the message.😉

I honestly have so much respect for the people on this forum who actually enjoy playing detective to sniff out trolls, clones, and all the other online plagues. You guys act like you want to bring military discipline to a place where literally anyone with a laptop and an internet connection can join. Are you kidding me? Is this forum really supposed to be taken as seriously as everyone is acting in this thread?

Richard Wilson4 said:I'm trying to use (IMG)IMAGE(IMG) on a thread about historical maps—since I spend a ton of time working on History stuff—but it's not working. All I can get to show up is the link, not the actual image itself.

Code:

Richard Wilson4 said:You can't just drop an image into a PDF using Policy

I literally just did it myself and deleted it right away since it was just a quick test.
How on earth did you jump to that conclusion?

What a waste, but hey, maybe it’ll actually work one day.
I saw some people talking about video tags on some foreign forums, but honestly, I’m not even going to bother thinking about that if we can't even get this image thing working anytime soon.

On page http://www.gfxartist.com/about/FAQ/14849/, I stumbled upon some code for resizing images, so now I'm wondering—is there any actual chance this would even work on a forum like this?

Honestly, if this worked here on the US forums, the mods wouldn't have such a massive headache constantly cleaning up and organizing posts with messy image sizes. 🙂

They’re wiping my enrollment records over there, so I figured I couldn't care less about what LJS is doing. Honestly, though, maybe they should just rename the whole thing to BLJES—BrisemoLjubavErotikuSex

Joshua Garcia3 said:If you're just dealing with plain text like you said, you can just use Microsoft.

Go to Edit > Replace. Search for "c" and replace it with "ć"—or whatever specific character is giving you grief—then just hit "Replace All." Boom. Done. Once you've swapped all those annoying letters out, just save the file.🙂

Honestly, I’d do the exact same thing, except I’d tell the find-and-replace tool to bump the font size of the replaced letter up to like 20 pt. That way, you can actually spot the mistakes where the replacement went overboard.

Besides, if the document isn't massive—like under 200 pages—the standard spell check works just fine anyway.

Fosna was totally right about this, but I figured I'd let you give it a shot anyway 🙂

Henry Edwards33 said:Of course, all the regulars get their perks after hitting 1,000 posts. Aren't you getting yours?
Maybe it's just some kind of oversight. 😉

Once I get the details on that reimbursement, I'm hitting up the admins immediately with my bank account info. In the meantime, I’m just gonna park that cash in an investment fund until I finally hit that 10,000 post milestone. 😉

shadowpilot8 said:banderas and Vojky have been officials since 2002.🙂

So, just how much cash are they actually sitting on then? 🙏
Almost like Sale. 😳

It's honestly hard to wrap my head around how many suck-ups are constantly hovering around that crew. 😉

shadowpilot8 said:Sale was an admin 😉

I was close, but man, that was ages ago—who even remembers all that stuff anymore?

Is there anyone else still pulling in "massive stacks" as a mod or admin on this forum after all this time? 😉

crimsonhound80 said:I'm curious—who here has been holding down some kind of moderator or admin role for the longest stretch without any breaks?

Actually, you know what, I guess it could include breaks, as long as we're talking about the longest overall tenure?

And obviously, I don't mean the owner of Reddit

Is it ego, hollowtrucker77, AxMi... maybe someone else?

Sale. I swear, I'm pretty sure he was a mod back on the old forum too.

Ugh, here we go again. Just when I think I’m done, they start nitpicking everything I say. Seriously? Can I just exist without getting corrected every five seconds? It's getting old. 😂

steeleagle70 said:so you upped the offer 😠

Gotta sweeten my deal though, ill be back 🙂

Looks like you didn't make the cut at that director competition on the last page, but I'm crossing my fingers that this thing with ZgSlash actually works out for you 😉

I heard about this one popular fund. I think it’s called ZB Pasiv or something like that 😉

slywolf45 said:Oh, please. We’re rolling in it. I actually used my forum salary to take a summer vacation on the Danube.☕

Look, it doesn't matter if you had a blast hanging out by the Danube or whatever. All that fat cash you're sitting on? You could always just dump it into stocks or investment funds. I mean, everyone is obsessed with that stuff right now anyway. ☕

What kind of paycheck are we even talking about?
Are you guys all just volunteering here or what?

Matthew Anderson4 said:it's also an indicator of a few other things 🙂

Look, let's actually learn how to use PMs when we want to say something or clear things up, alright?☕

Eric Collins5 said:😠😠😠

I need the moderators over at Reddit so I can finally go after that absolute evil bastard!!!

Honestly, I’m even willing to bribe someone just to make it happen!!!

😠😠😠

Honestly, you're probably not cut out for religion since you're way too pissed off, but they might let you moderate the Fight Club movie thread instead.😉
