Another member reported this thread as they thought is was a bully tactic or the like. As I stated to them, and will state again now, it is merely the open disclosure policy in which I hold with members. I did things privately with DL first, I was ignored. So no Evie, it is not typical that a person go into moderation for this, as they usually listen and respond to my requests/warnings, and they adopt the policy whilst here.

I don't care what people do at other forums or the like, but I request atleast some basic aspects here in grammar, spelling and punctuation. Yes, we cater for all people, yet people are not stupid and can respond to multiple requests and then multiple warnings, and well... when I don't even get a response I take it the person simply does not want to conform to forum policy, hence moderation. Rules fit us all, not just some.

Some people are made examples through open disclosure, so be it, some are not. As you both stated above, most people here with anxiety struggle to read posts that are not punctuated with atleast minimum spelling and paragraphing. This is how these points became editorial policy in the first place, through member discussion and what members needed as a majority.

I suggest firefox on the left side, the dictionary to assist, and if you do that and break up your writing into easily identifiable paragraphs, typically a person with the most severe anxiety can still read it in part, rest, come back and continue without it confusing them.

Thanks for both your words.... I do like feedback, positive or negative.
