Hello and welcome to the guide to good grammar! This is mostly for newbies, to know how people don't like bad grammar on here.

The guide to great grammar!
Here's what you have to do........

Don't slang
plz dont slang guyz coz it getz relly annoyin and stuf also dont do use numbas and stuf like 2mrw. it makes u look stupid and not very clever. However, you can use lol, btw, etc. Instead, talk like this, use commas, colons, semi-colons, capital letters, full-stops, hyphens and other punctuation. It makes you look a lot more clever, less nooby, and frankly, it seems like you're not stupid.

Dont write like this
dont write like this.it can get really annoying and makes it harder to read your writing if you don't leave a space after your puncuation. This makes you look silly and you just can't be bothered with anything.

Capital Letters On Each Word
Don't Always Use Capital Letters For Every New Word You Write. People Find It Quite Annoying To Read Your Writing. This Just Makes You Look Silly, Frankly I think Everyone Hates This Type Of Thing, So Please Don't Do This.

CAPS ON EVERY WORD
CAPS LOCK ON EVERY WORD IS REALLY REALLY ANNOYING. YOU CAN DO IT OCCASIONALLY FOR ABOUT A SENTENCE BUT AFTER THAT YOU JUST SEEM REALLY REALLY DUMB. I THINK EVERYONE HATES THIS, IT MAKES YOU LOOK OBSESSIVE AND DUMB SO DON'T DO IT. IT ALSO MAKES IT REALLY HARD TO READ YOUR WRITING.

Use these '
Use these ', at the right time, you don't need them all the time, I think you guys know where you need to put them, just remember to put them in! If you put them in the wrong places, you look silly, so either put them in the right places or don't put them in at-all. If you don't know where to put them, that's quite worrying

Spell right
Make shore you spell write okay? If you don't spel write you look rally dumb! So please spell right, use the right words for the right meanings, this is a big thing, but there's little to say. Just make sure you spell right, other-wise, you really don't look great. There is however, a spell-checker, if you right-click the word with a red under-line under it (that means it spelled wrong), then a list of words will come up for what you might mean.

That's all for grammar

The guide to great posts!
Here's what you have to do

Don't go off-topic
Don't go off-topic, say there's a thread asking you, whats your favorite movie, don't reply with
" I love the toy-story movies, but I like pie even more!
Btw what's your favorite pie!"
Because that just looks pathetic and really, really, care-less.

Get all of your grammar right
Use the grammar guide above! People would really, be more likely to read your post, if you use all the right things. Capital letters, full-stops, punctuation, spelling right, not slanging and doing a space after a full-stop.

If you want to be mean, don't post at all!
Don't be mean, or try to start any form of argument, also called 'flaming' someone. This just ruins a thread, if you're the thread owner, just ignore it. If you do 'flame' someone, don't just do it for the sake of it either. Make your point, but don't be mean about it.

DON'T SPAM!
Just please don't spam, I know this is in the rules, but I have the urge to get it out to you! If you spam, you will get banned right away, so don't do it please! Unless you're spamming in the Spam-Zone

Highlight this please!
Don't use hard to read letters
Don't use hard to read letters! It makes it hard to read, and I think you will get that when you highlight this, it's hard to read. So if you'd like to pick a awesome color, then make it one that's easy to read. Other-wise people won't bother to read your post. There are, acceptations, like doing something in white, to show you're doing sarcasm etc.

If you want to make a point, make sure your facts are right
If you want to say something to someone, make sure you know what you're posting, like this;
Forumer 1: 2+2=4! We learned that in math today, it was really hard!
Forumer 2: No, you're pretty stupid, it's obviously 5. Some people are dumb these days.
You look ultra dumb and hypocritical. Don't do this, unless you know you're right. Check a couple of times if you think you're right, if you know you're right, then go ahead, post. But make sure you KNOW you're right.

That's all for posts!

The guide to great threads!
Here's what you have to do.....

Don't post pointless threads
Pointless threads are just stupid, unless they actually mean something, but then, they're not pointless. If you do a pointless thread that is just a lie, it seems like you're attention seeking, so don't do it.

Don't copy other peoples threads
If they got there first, don't copy. Reply to there thread, and join in with the fun, you could always just say
"I was about to post this thread. xD It's great isn't it!"
Then you sound nice, and cool with how they got there first.

If you make a thread and it isn't successful
If you make a thread and it isn't very successful, don't freak out. Just keep calm, don't double-post in it either to bring it back up to the top. That just seems sad.

That's all for threads!
And that, is also the end of the guide!

That's your guide to grammar, posts and threads done!
If there is anything else you would like me to add, please let me know!
Remember, my fellow forumers, to use this guide.
