Oh dear your CAPS LOCK key appears to be intermittently turning on and off. Well done for getting to the full stop, although next time put a space before the next sentence.
Well you added an extra one there and we forgot the full stop, again :doh:
Why do you have to write so fast anyway, it may shock you to learn I read through all my posts and spell check a lot of them. This may be a waste of time (better spent making myself feel big as an admin in my empty forum), however, I don't tend to post such a stream of senseless drivel.
FFS after you type read through what you have written. If you can't see two glaring spelling mistakes in that quote then you deserve to be shot. I won't comment on the punctuation because there doesn't appear to be any :doh:
What amazes me more is that he is using Firefox 2 with the spell checker, and yet me who has just had some cider and typing with the keyboard in an uncomfortable position really fast is making virtually none.
PS - the first person to correct me will go on my "People i want to kill" list!
You guys complain about all the spam and negative posts on the forums, and yet here you are again, making fun of faster111 because of spelling mistakes. I see loads of others doing the same, yet you seem to keep choosing him to bully.
There's a difference between random attacking of someone and justified annoyance. He puts no effort into making sure what he's posting is even readable and he also makes no effort into improving.
People have a right to be annoyed and also a right to say what they want. If this keeps up some more then perhaps he'll change his ways and actually make an effort.
Edit : Also yes there are others, but honestly can you name one person that can match him for EPM (Errors per minute)?
Except that there's a difference between making some spelling mistakes, and complete illiteracy and a general indifference towards making the effort to make himself understood.
If you're really so concerned about how he posts and the effort he puts into them, I'm sure you can find a more constructive way of going about helping him not do it. I highly doubt publicly insulting him will change a thing.
Sometimes people just have to post what they want to say... Once this thread disappears it won't arise again for another few months. But while it's here people just want to get it off of their chests.
We should rename this The Vent Thread and be done with it.
It actually is hard to do, it's like when you spot something in a logo. The arrow in the FedEx logo for instance. You can't unsee it once you've seen it so you have to shout and moan about it in futile hopes that it disappears.
I'll turn my attention to TV. Nice safe happy TV..
Personally I think the graphics card saga is the perfect example of why anyone who tries to help him as they would help a normal member is wasting their time. No reasonable person would exhaust so much time and effort from other members, only to respond to the help in the way that he did.
Aww it's really very simple, if it bothers you that much, just put him on ignore and you'll never have to see his posts again. Problem solved, life will be all happy again. If sometime down the line you get curious to see how he's improved... you can always peek in and see.
believe it guys; its way more work than you think.. and i only have to moderate one section (although im hoping victor is going to bump me up to all addon sections) so.. im not really a moderator, just the janitor i guess you could call me
i dont mind it; im sick of having a hard time trying to find stuff; its much easier now in the skins section dont you guys agree?
a) he is on my ignore list, but there's this annoying "view post" button next to every one of his posts that I often just have to click to see what it is that's infuriating so many people so much of the time.
b) I'm not exactly losing any sleep over him. Trust me, I have much more important things in my life to worry about than what some seven year old from Humberside is up to. But as much as I give everyone the benefit of the doubt at first, my tolerance does not extend to condoning faster's catalogue of leeching licences, illiteracy, laziness, and abusing people's help and goodwill. Normally I wouldn't say anything as I tend to read much more than I post, but starting a thread in which he suggests he might become a moderator here because he's set up his own, empty forum at which he has authority is either (i) taking the piss, or (ii) the straw that broke the camel's back, or (iii) all of the above.
@ XCNuse: yep, skins section is much better organised now. I just wish I could get round to finishing the half dozen half-finished skins I've got somewhere archived onto DVD.
I live the same place you do, and they are rather awesome cops at our station. Agreed there are a couple of douche bags, but the rest are top chaps.
But faster, trust me on this one. You will NEVER become a mod on this forum.
Unless you resat English 101, that'd never happen. They do not teach you English unless you apply for an English course. You'd never get into A-Level English, so looks like you're resitting GCSE.
The best way to learn to spell is on a forum, and with the nice guys we have here helping you learn, you're life is rather easy. I had to learn by trial and error, if I made a mistake I never noticed until I saw someone post the correct spelling another time. I only learnt how to spell assume last year when a guy told me "when you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
But if you're not willing to correct your piss poor spelling nothing will help you. You type too fast that you miss keys, which means you cannot type fast, slow down until your error rate drops, and if you're really getting stumped by the idea, goto High Ridge and ask for one of their old systems (they still have them littering the halls), they had a program on them called "Typing 101", where you are taught to touch type as you have to type againts the clock and not make any errors, or as few as possable (I think you were allowed to make one error or you had to go back a level or two).
Hehe, I was always told Big Elephants Can Always Use Some Extra. Because I was a fatty and loved food. Was, I still am thinking about it.
