Thank you so much for saying that! I feel like giving you a virtual hug, I am so glad you said that. Those are my words exactly.

I consider myself a lazy person sometimes, but if anyone is reading this right now who actually is lazy enough to not properly spell, capitalize, or punctuate a sentence, then I don't think you need to be typing anything on a public forum at all. Instead, maybe go back to kindergarten and ask your teacher why you have to say things and write/type things the right way.

Also, when someone types in all capitals, for example, it is taken as shouting. There is absolutely no reason to shout on this forum. Shouting is rude, and genrally considered inappropriate in most indoor settings. This place is "indoors", so use your inside voices.

All lowercase is so annoying that the reader can't focus on what has been typed. There needs to be a mixture/blend of upper and lowercase letters in order for printed or typed words to be easily legible.

Everyone is different when it comes to spelling skills. Sometimes, children even have to help their parent(s) spell certain words. But everybody, regardless of actual spelling skill, does in fact posses the not-so-amazing ability to try as hard as possible to correctly spell every single word they type. And, people can also read what they typed before they click submit reply, so they can spell-check their own "work". That has a level -10 difficulty, and takes what, like 5 seconds to do? Posts on here aren't that long at all, so the need for robo-spell check is non-existent.

Grammar is generally quite simple, in any context that it would ever need to be applied in this forum. No excuses here either not to try your darn hardest to use only proper grammar. If you can't, log off, buy a life and log back on afterwards.

Also, in my opinion, anyone who harasses the mods on here needs to grow up and get a freaking life! You obviously care nothing (or very little if anything) at all about your piggies care if you think moderating for sake of truthful information is ridiculous. The mods are just doing their job, like anyone else could be doing, anywhere, at anytime. They help make sure that we don't do stupid things with our guinea pigs, and they make sure that the wrong people don't get in here, and so on, and so on. All for helping us people take better care of our piggies! And like I said, if you think the mods are bad or whatever, then I think you could be a terrible guinea pig owner, and I'm sorry for your cavy(ies).

Well, I'm done! Some people are just so distasteful and bleh!

Hoorah for the mods.
