• Do not criticize or make fun of people who do not write concisely or use proper punctuation. Ask politely for clarification or do not post at all.

You did not ask for clarification you just criticized. Please read and abide by the guidelines

No offence Dennis but that's ridiculous. He was simply stating nicely that it would be more helpful if the original poster were to use correct grammar and punctuation. He certainly did not criticize it and it is blatantly obvious that he is just trying to help. If anything, your criticizing the fact that abkarch misworded his statement. That, or you misinterpreted it. I believe the original poster should use correct grammar in order to recieve the best possible help he can from the forum community. And i find it quite dissapointing that you misunderstood his statement as criticism.

You spelled "received" wrong.

also, it was supposed to be 'receive', not 'received'.

Oh the irony.

No offence glowstick but that's ridiculous. He was simply stating nicely that it would be more helpful if you'd spelled that word correctly. He certainly did not criticize it and it is blatantly obvious that he is just trying to help. If anything, you're criticizing the fact that Cocaine misworded his statement. That, or you misinterpreted it. I believe the original poster should use correct spelling in order to receive the best possible help he can from the forum community. And I find it quite disappointing that you misunderstood his statement as criticism.

Dennis, I hope you are joking, cause what you posted says "ask politely for clarification", and that's exactly what I did.I was asking for clarification. this is criticism:
"dude, use proper grammar, you stupid noob."
No offense intended, Dennis...


And when i said "if possible" i was referring to if he was Hispanic and did not know English, or something.

I am not joking. You did not ask for clarification, you did not try to respond to his question and you didn't even offer criticism, which the above quote already proves you don’t fully understand. You did absolutely nothing to assist or help him in any way. Two other people before you asked for clarification to try to help him and your only contribution is “please use proper grammar, if possible.” Give me a break! I’ve tried being polite so let me put it this way, maybe it is in a language style you understand better. Help or just shut your face.

ummmm.......meep? MEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP????? MEEeeeeeEEeeEeeEeeeeP!!!!!


anyways the guys problem, the sky and ground are not showing up in max or sapien? if in sapien make sure u set the materials to the ride mat id's, and the names are correctly assigned. If in max the same thing, and make sure the "apply to object" box is clicked. also make sure to uvw map it(not unwrap if uc ant), and make sure the image is scaled correctly to the model[s]

This thread is win.

Seems the rules tend to aim the forums towards children instead of the games intended age group tbqh.

The rules are for any age group in any public setting however it seems to be the children that can't seem to grasp that they should follow them.

There is nothing restrictive in the rules they are the accepted common courtesies used in any public discourse.

I don't have a problem with the, I just disagree greatly about the grammar rule. Seeming as the game is intended for teenagers and not below that age group the forums should only contain members of that age group.

If not then the forums would be encouraging underage people to play a violent video game?
Although the age guidelines only stop the people from buying the game and not playing so I suppose what I just said could be countered with that - arguing with my self now LOL

What I'm trying to say is that users should at least attempt to make posts which are readable without the need to re-read them. Encouraging that has MANY advantages, such as: developing grammar skills for future life (think about the amount of posts people make); people will be able to help a lot easier and actually WANT to read the post.
I personally don't read most posts are they are just a wall of text with no structure and they are difficult to understand.

That too is one of the guidelines and is an accepted practice in public discourse, however, to make a post to only point out poor or improper grammar usage is not accepted practice. It is not constructive, does nothing to add to the conversation and can be down right rude since you do not know the age, education level or primary language of the original poster.

To ask for clarification such as "I didn't understand what you meant when you said {insert words here}" or "let me be sure I understand what you are asking" is a proper way to indicate that the original poster was unclear in either intent or grammatical usage and moves the conversation along constructively.

This forum like most web forums is not constrained to your bedroom or family room or playground it is accessible to every person with an internet connection anywhere in the world. It is a public place, a very public place with thousands of visitors every day. Everything you say here is recorded unlike what you say in the playground or ball field. I posted the guidelines precisely because the average age of the members here is less than majority and many may not fully understand or comprehend the wisdom of self restraint.
