Must admit, it's nice visiting the site and not seeing 100+ WAYT posts in this thread.

can we bring back autobans for bad spelling

It would be interesting if (future) custom forums had the ability to enable smartness.

[QUOTE=mastfire;52866654]can we bring back autobans for bad spelling[/QUOTE] let's not and say we did.

[QUOTE=mastfire;52866654]can we bring back autobans for bad spelling[/QUOTE] Honestly, why not. It will mobilize people to check their posts more than once. It would be especially useful, when the post is in fact shit and needs to be edited.

Like when people use commas when they are not needed.

[QUOTE=Clive;52866873]Like when people use commas when they are not needed.[/QUOTE] It looks better though. Also it wouldn't be classified as a spelling error.

this, is, all, spelled, correctly, There's no way to cheaply parse text for punctuation and grammar.

[QUOTE=Mezzokoko;52867046]Who says a bot has to parse it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HMs7wlg.png[/img][/QUOTE] So you're volunteering to read every new submitted post and rate its spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Everybody take note of this. Mezzokoko has promised to do us a great service. Don't let him forget it.

Joke's on you, I will only correct your spelling.

How we gonna get new members?

[QUOTE=Cructo;52867164]did something happen to flagdog?[/QUOTE] It got broken

Do people still get banned for saying cuck?

[QUOTE=Nightfury;52867193]Do people still get banned for saying cuck?[/QUOTE] I think it just falls under flaming. if it's not flaming I don't see why anyone would get banned.

If it's in a low effort shitpost, it'll be banned as such.

It's memeshit regardless, the way it's used as of recently at least.

It's garry. He's kind of above the rules.

That's sort of the joke. I've been here 12 years man

It literally says in the rules that garry can do whatever he wants Dunno what people expect lol

[QUOTE=Quark:;52867243]It's memeshit regardless, the way it's used as of recently at least.[/QUOTE] Depends on its context To think it all started out of the gamergate/quinspiracy saga

[QUOTE=Killuah;52867248]Yes I am aware of the irony, I am thinking hard about how to make this post with more effort. Very very hard.[/QUOTE] What do you want them to do, ban garry???

[QUOTE=Mifil;52866868]Honestly, why not. It will mobilize people to check their posts more than once. It would be especially useful, when the post is in fact shit and needs to be edited.[/QUOTE] Because it's dumb and falls under bad linguistics. You also have false positives, and the fact that most unreadable posts are unreadable because of their sentence structure and not their spelling. People already get banned for unintelligible squawking anyways.

[QUOTE=AtomicSans;52867116]Fair enough, Mezokokok. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Misspelled my name" - Mezzokoko))[/highlight][/QUOTE] This brings up a very important question about the forums. Is the 'zz' in Mezzokoko's name the same sound as the 'zz' in pizza? [QUOTE=Grenadiac;52867302]What do you want them to do, ban garry???[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the proper way to handle Garry is actually to unban him.

Didn't a mod once unban garry while he wasn't banned, which fucked up his usergroup :v:

[QUOTE=Quark:;52867639]Didn't a mod once unban garry while he wasn't banned, which fucked up his usergroup :v:[/QUOTE] It was Starpluck iirc. He unbanned the admin out of Garry.

tbh having smartness on the forums originally was what turned me from typing like an annoying teenager to typing like a sophisticated businessman on the internet without FP i'd still be unironically using "xD"
