Good grief.
It's hard to imagine a website more diametrically opposed in its philosophy from this one.
Elitist jerks, indeed.
starting to think we need a bitch forum - i got a infraction for grammar
So, as originally quoted below, you can see that i was trying to help someone on this board, and i got a fucking infraction for it.
i wont be going here anymore. i can not capitalize my text as much as i fucking want. the fact that this guy actually TOOK THE TIME to type out the reason for such infraction just makes me want to choke him with his fucking panties.
faggots.
Dear vexi,
You have received an infraction at Elitist Jerks.
Reason: Grammar
-------
What is it about the beginning of a sentence that people hate so much that they'd ignore the most basic rule of capitalization?
-------
This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

he's got a folder called Tooltips in his ui download, this goes inside interface folder next to the addons one.
Interface
-- Addons
---- other mods
-- Tooltips
it auto replaces any tooltip border used.
i also found a zork border in SharedMedia, but i had to replace that one with the one in his download cause it had some transparency to it.
All the best,

Omg talk about obessive compulsive. I mean get a fucking grip. There are worse things than not capitalizing a damn letter.

In keeping with the spirit of things, you could correct his tense consistency. I wonder if the hypocrite dinged the guy you quoted, since there is quite a bit more incorrect in that post than capitalization.

I can be a bit anal about grammar, just ask my stepson but I wouldn't bother too much about capitalization. You just have to feel bad for someone who has nothing better to do than take the time to write up such a silly thing. Or if you don't feel bad for him, just laugh at him ... hehe!
When I first read your post, I thought that you were kidding about the name of the forum. I hopped over to look at the thread and it is really called Elitist Jerks LOL!!

Well! I thought myself to be kind of a grammar/spelling nazi, but um... well, he just BLEW me right out of the water!
You should reply with a looong run-on sentence minus any capitalization, puctuation or anything... you'll probably hear him explode from where you're sitting ;)
Something like:
i cant believe youd reply to one of my few posts with something as stupid and anal as you did you big jerk whats wrong with you some people just have too much free time you should probably try to find yourself a part time job to keep your mind occupied on things other than pissing off people who are trying to help others
Wow... that was hard to type LOL

First off Vex they need a serious chocking, you're right!! WTF, you try to help someone and they pull that crap? They don't deserve your help.
haha Darsa I love that idea! Think of what he'd say about someone like me.. Someone who uses "..." ALL the time in major run on thought like sentances. And who can't spell or use punctuation right half the time. *cackles* People like that just annoy the hell out of me. Who CARES? It's not a big deal IMO if you don't capitalize or spell or whatever. I used to be a huge Nazi but being married to a guy who does his own thing with capitalization and punctuation broke me down some and then with the amount of time on forums and MMOs I just gave up on it hehe.

I also frequent the EJ forums and that is one of the first rules they have posted about posting on the forums. Normally they just mock the post and move it to the banhammer but i was not aware they actually sent dings and shit to people.
i don't actually post anything on there for the exact reasons of i have horrible grammar and never type anything the "proper" way but fuck'em. It was pretty stupid to hit that shit on you when you were just trying to help someone out.

Hey I use ellipses and it pains me greatly to see them abused. =( If you can't use them in the proper William Shatner fashion, just don't use them at all.
