[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;18263397]Hey, I was wondering if you could do something about this. Whenever someone spells it "centre", someone always comes in to try and correct them. Entire arguments have been caused because of this. I think it's ridiculous and you should put it up in the rules or something, tell them that the spelling of centre / center doesn't matter.

Oh look - no capitals and no punctuation. I don't see why people think this makes them cool. :geno:
Unless you're doing it deliberately to troll, you can use either US or British spelling and ignore people who object. If you get flamed, report for flaming.
i dont see why people care about spelling and punctuation on the internet, it seems like a specific phase you go through at 13 when you want to try to act like you're not some dumb 13 year old by acting all good at spelling and grammar and shit.

You used to use spelling/grammar properly until you were demodded, if I remember correctly.

Until he was made a mod, then he started spelling with no capitals.
[QUOTE=Bengley;18278344]Until he was made a mod, then he started spelling with no capitals.[/QUOTE]
My view on it would be that people who don't use any capitals or punctuation think they're rebelling against society and it makes them look cool.

that makes absolutely no sense

even hezzy, an administrator of the website, will more than often not use capitals or punctuation
nobody cares, and if you do care about spelling and grammar on the internet, you might want to rethink your priorities.

I would say pretending NOT to care is the phase people go through.
It's true it doesn't matter in chatrooms, in games, when texting and so on because you're talking to friends. But when you reply to threads on a forum you're publishing something all sorts of other people may search for and read (or just read when randomly browsing).
Anyway, we don't have bans or autobans for spelling or punctuation any more, so as long as your post is intelligible and not written badly as a deliberate attempt to troll people you'll be OK.
And as I said above, if you get flamed, report for flaming.

I never said I cared, just that was my view, and of course it makes sense, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it.

that is a very flawed piece of logic you have. people say things that don't make sense all the time, just because you think it does doesn't make it so.

Why was the marketplace taken down?
Probably because it was full of shit and useless. It spawned more trouble than what it was worth.

and, as an extra,

There are two ways to the new custom forums. 1, go into the Lifestyles sub-directory at the bottom, then languages, then click 'Custom Forums' at the top. This works because the languages category is not under lifestyles.
Or two, use my gm script that is DEADBEEFs old 'custom forums on home page' but modified to show the new ones.
[QUOTE=Tugger;18279162]Why was the marketplace taken down?[/QUOTE]
Because the Marketplace didn't end up being that great.
why do people regularly get banned for sniping in GD, but are not banned in In the News for news puns?
Especially considering news puns and sniping are like the same thing.

[QUOTE=Benji;18281254]Because the Marketplace didn't end up being that great.[/QUOTE]
It was great at first, but people stopped using it.
Also, as soon as it was taken off the front page, it died completely.
[QUOTE=Tugger;18279162]Why was the marketplace taken down?[/QUOTE]
because i highly doubt that many people on facepunch even own a credit card.
This is not really a question but i'll tell it anyway.
I think garry should just change the forum logo to random stuff from time to time just to give us a new theme change as it happened with the Hoff. I don't think changing avatars would be a good idea though.

This.
Why are there some ratings missing that were there earlier?
Especially the 'thanks' and 'good idea' rating...

The random avatars were mm3guy. The logo was garry. I don't think there should be random themes, the hoff logo just happened to be hilarious with the whole thing mm3guy was doing.

They were removed from the rating system when garry added it back this year. Some ratings had their name and icon changed. [url=http://www.garry.tv/?p=1151]Garry said recently on his blog that the thanks ratings is going to be added back.[/url]
[QUOTE=Fijgum;18283356]Why are there some ratings missing that were there earlier?

They went with all of the ratings. Garry then introduced the :smile: and :frown: ratings, then the current ones.
