[Ly&Pigs]

Beowulf is probably mad at me because I asked him/her to read the posting rules because they are new member. I do that with all the newbies. I give more warnings for failure to use capitalization and punctuation than for any other reason. My biggest pet peeves on this forum are failure to capitalize the first letter of your sentences, not capitalizing an "I" and using ... or smilies to end a sentence instead of a simple period/full stop (.) and chat speak. I detest chat speak. I don't expect perfect spelling but if a member spells the majority of their words incorrectly they are encouraged to get a dictionary or use spell checking software before posting. I don't expect perfect grammar either. I do expect that members take the time to not be so lazy when posting. We do make exceptions for disabled members.

The reasons for the rules are simple. People come here from all over the world and post. If their native language isn't english and if they can't read the posts easily, they can't get help for their pigs.

I will say if you don't like our rules, find another forum.
