Okay, folks. You know we're all volunteers. And we've agreed to help this forum operate in a certain way. It's not personal when we ask folks to remove links from their signatures or to keep the language 'suitable for prime time network television'.
Lately it seems a part of the forum population has found pleasure in misspelling one word or leaving a letter out, just to get by the automatic censor software. I dunno, is it really that important to all of you? Because from my POV, you've now not only caused me work (I need to fix it, pm the person who did it, etc.), you make me feel kind of like I'm overbearing just for asking you to abide by forum rules. Sometimes we get these outraged pm's (or even posts) accusing us of being uptight. Oh hey, those of you who know me irl, know better. So I don't need to defend myself on this.
But why is it that folks are doing this? Could you just stop? I have better things to do with my time than fix posts. And I really REALLY dislike how some forum members respond when asked politely to knock it off.
If you're not doing, it thank you. If you are, please stop. It doesn't make you look grown up or cool. And I'll leave it at that.
