Minimal Spelling and Grammar Options

[Saffy]

After a lot of talk and complaints I've been seeing, I believe we should instill a minimum level of quality regarding spelling and grammar. The most of us do use proper language on this forum, so I'm not going to say we're a cesspit of poor posts. However, there's a problem when understanding what someone has written is near impossible. I acknowledge typos occur. I'm certainly not suggesting we be Grammar Nazis either. But I and a few others are tired of seeing worthless, incomprehensible posts.

So please take the time to check your spelling and grammar before you post. Warnings may start going out to those who repeatedly offend spelling and grammar without any effort to improve. If your post looks like garbage, reads like garbage, then it will be treated as garbage.

Questions? Comments? I believe this action to be reasonable.

I always think of myself as having poor grammar. I don't know why, though. I make really stupid mistakes sometimes, but I never get any complaints. I firmly believe my grammar has improved from reading fanfiction. I'd go through it and correct all the mistakes I found (and sometimes, I found TONS), and I think it really helped me a lot. Oh, and when I say go through it, I mean that I didn't use the spellcheck or the grammarcheck. It gets hard sometimes, trying to find exactly what is making a sentence sound wrong and the 'checks' never seemed to help in that case. =/
