RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
It's a good system besides the whole "revenge" thing.
P.S. Do mods even check this?
EDIT: I need to check my posts before I actually "post" them =/.

RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
You know, I'm getting kinda sick of people giving negative reps to people with good grammar and spelling, just because they gave the reppers a bad rep. Like my rep, charging_chimchar gave me a negative because I gave him a negative for good reason.

RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
This is why this rep system is so stupid. People will give negative reps to people who gave them negative reps...

RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
Amen. This system definatly has flaws...but I think we should rate on spelling and grammar, not on ANYTHING else. And if I get a bad ref, I don't just go bad rep someone else! LV did it to me.
I also think you should point an example of the last day where the person used bad grammar, otherwise the person is making it up.
Last thing. I think the system is very biased based on who determines what bad grammar is. I mean, I got a bad rep for not capitalizing a pokemon's name!!! Give me a break. I think if people know what you are saying without having to squint and there are letters missing, your grammar is par if not better.
I am out.

RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
This system does have flaws and members are pointing them out with pointless negative reps.

Let me clarify: Is using slang terms (like ain't), or Internet terms (n00b, lol, etc) considered as bad English? Bad English = meaningless sentences spelled incorrectly; Informal English = proper English...
Check my rep.

RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
Slang refers to informal language. My comm. teacher always pounded the importance of formal writing. But IMO, even that doesn't deserve a negative, as long as you didn't overuse it to excess.

RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
There is nothing wrong with using slang terms... informal language is still grammatically corrent. If slang terms warrent a negative, everyone who uses the word 'n00b' would be given negatives...
The only time I used "ain't" was once, when I was giving someone a positive rep...

RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
What the fudge! I gave them a negative rep because they don't capitalize and they said that it was something stupid??? This is what I call "revenge"...My reputation said:
RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
This rep system is horrible I say as members we overthrow it as soon as possible. I rather get rep on my posts concepts and such. Not by spelling and grammar that is what school is for.

This is so unfair to me. I have a broken arm. I make grammatical errors all the time.

Harsh.. And yet it has absolutely nothing to do with spelling and grammar....My reputation said:
RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
True. Even though a member may get on someone's nerves, that's rude to hope for someone to get banned. I agree totally. And it's defenitely off the purpose of giving reps for spelling and grammar.
But doesn't this just discourage WPM?
We should take more action than just talk about it.

RE: The New Spelling and Grammar Rankings System
The people who are giving reps for being a good friend, spamming, being annoying, and ect. are the ones abusing the system.
Some people have a simple typo like "teh" and then they get a negative rep for it, I mean really, its a typo.
For one, its called the spelling/grammar reputation system, I think the people that abuse the system like that should get a warning, if it continues a 3-day ban, and ect.
But I personally think that this is getting to overboard and i am sure other people think so too.
