Maybe because that's not the purpose of this topic.

Not my point at all.
And
my point here is that this RPG forum doesn't need to be taken as seriously as you're taking it. If there's something
so bad, it'll be handled, whether or not you contribute.

No, just the ones who post poorly thought-out/ludicrious ones.
Get use to it!

I hold the intelligence edge against him here. There's no reason to act smarter when I am.
If you're really so smart, then why should you even bother trying to prove it? I believe everybody here is smart, some just haven't learned certain things yet. You think ring man77 even reads the things you post about him?

The only provocation i'm going for here is to try and stimulate his head to get thoughts across clearly, instead of using interesting words such as "lader" and "drords" when describing a topic.
As long as you keep degrading him, why
should he listen to you? You should think about how you're saying things before you say them!

Take a look at yourself here. You tell me to get off my high horse while pointing out every little fault I made in my post and how wrong I must be with my view. Get the fuck off your horse, then i'll get off mine. If anyone's preaching, it's you. The way you defend him gives the illusion that he's just dandy posting the way he is.
This is a MESSAGE BOARD. You come to message boards to chat and have a good time. Not everyone has decent grammar and you don't need to in order to chat with people here. And I think even less people are going to want to come here if some of the members are too strict. I think ring man's posts are still, in the least, readable. They aren't perfect, but they're not bothering me either. Is it really going to kill you to have to read a couple of posts that you say, aren't acceptable? It's in the rules to not spam, yes, but some people who join message boards for the first time aren't going to always automatically know that right off the bat.
And the whole "well, you're doing it, so I can do it too" defense really only proves that you have no real good point here. If your point was really so profound, why do you need to justify it?

Says the man who felt so self-righteous he felt he had to defend the poor newbie from the mean old man.
I wasn't
feeling anything about myself. Frankly, I was getting sick of your attitude towards members for not having decent grammar. If I'm being "mean" to you, it's because of your own actions. Call it what you will.

Consider this the chaining.
Is it his job to do as you say, even if you are right? Again, spammy posts aren't going to kill you. Not everyone is perfect. I think a more friendly, true board member might throw him a couple of tips here and there, but don't go "chaining him up" because you feel it's the only way to really motivate someone. That if anything, probably makes him feel like spamming more, or simply listen less to you!

I wouldn't say i'm asking for too much here. Grammar and thought shouldn't be hard to come by these days.
I'll say it again. BAD GRAMMAR IS NOT GOING TO KILL YOU. You should just except the fact that no matter how much you try and convince spammers to get their act together, there will always be more of them to come. If you really felt good about being here, you could learn to deal with that, and try to enjoy more of what makes this place good, instead of leaning on what's wrong with it. As for thought, they're are plenty of topics with thought in mind! Stick to those if these types of threads are so bad enough to merit a "BD beatdown"!
Look, it's obvious you like this place, you highly respect the sanctity of this place, and you want to make things as perfect as possible. This place is what it is, with or without your say. Spammers will come and go, so just let it be. If they care enough about staying, they'll eventually come around on their own, for respect of the other members here. If they don't, then they'll leave. Simple as that. Why should they respect members that jump on most, if not, all of their mistakes? People can learn things on their own. In fact, that's how most of us here learned when becoming model members! (You know who you are!) We didn't have someone constantly leaning over us telling us what to do!
And if you think I'm just doing the same to you, well, maybe you should try asking yourself whether or not there's a good reason for it. And if you think ring man should be the one to ask himself that, well, maybe he will, but not if he's constantly being hampered by it! And I think it should be obvious who's doing the most criticizing here overall, if that's clarifying enough for you.
