Spelling in thread titles

[pocaracas]

How about if we report the post for "thread title misspelling"? Could that make a mod fix it?

It's official, today is snarky mods day. Yes?

That's every day.

We are evil that way.

Anyone who feels the need to go around commenting on peoples spelling are bloody tossers and need to go stick there head in a bucket of water and take a few deep breaths!

You guys can be as sarcastic as you like, but you're missing the point. I merely asked politely if spelling mistakes in thread titles could be corrected. If you don't like the idea, then just say so. You don't have to be rude and crude.

I'm still wondering if you want me to respond in kind, as mods often do when they have an agenda.

And mods should act professionally.

So just say so without being crude. You didn't get it, no?

/snark hat off

I believe we've already said no, albeit not in so many words. Mods are here to enforce the rules and occasionally fix mangled quotes and such if they have time. One thing that we specifically do not do is alter the content of what people post, ever - and this includes fixing their spelling mistakes.

Honestly, I'd prefer it if people took a reasonable effort to spell correctly and use reasonably correct grammar, as would all of the staff, I expect. I don't think any of us is interested in cleaning up other member's messes any more than what is necessary (fixing mangled quotes falls under the my "necessary" umbrella).

I'm still wondering if you want me to respond in kind, as mods often do when they have an agenda.

There's no agenda, Diablo. I realize you're new here and may not know the personalities of the various staff members. I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Cthulhu, I'm the one with the poorly-controlled sarcasm problem. It's not personal.

And mods should act professionally.

Do you realize that when we aren't acting in official capacity, that the staff are just ordinary members and can pretty much act as they wish, just like anyone else here?
