Why am I banned from the board for bad grammar?!?!? - Comments

Okay, okay. That's only a month. I miscalculated. But I still think the ban is unreasonable and unfair.

I'm banned until 7-29-08. And I don't even know what for!

Robot Pie: I think the rule itself is enough warning.

End of the summer? Are you sure you're not reading the dates wrong? Board bans usually only last a week or so.

I 100% agree with Robot Pie. Warnings will help you learn better than prompt bans.

Do you capitlize all of the things that need to be capitized? Most of the time that's the problems, just leaving the "i's" undercased.

At this point, I don't care. I don't use journals anyways. But I am really careful about how I speak and type, that's the thing. I got no warning, and have only posted a maximum of 6 times or so. I just don't understand what I am doing wrong!

There are to many members and so little time to just stop Everything they are doing to warn a member. They'd have to stop like every half of what they are doing and that would just be stressful.

Nobody here has perfect spelling, and we all make mistakes. Little things aren't going to get you banned from the forum. But if you repeatedly use improper spelling and make alot of mistakes, they will ban you. I don't blame them for that.

HOWEVER, I do have a complaint about the WAY they do it. I think you should at least be given a warning before a ban occurs, this way they can tell you what it is you're doing wrong so you've got a chance to correct it.

Just banning people without warning them or giving them a chance is something about Mibba that I dislike. It's a writing site, and I understand that, but some people may not even realize what they're doing, and banning them doesn't teach them anything. Explaining to them what their mistake is WILL help them, however.

So that's my piece.

This could get you banned from Journals too...

You must have done something wrong because they let little errrors get by. It's only the huge ones that get you banned like TpY1Ng L1k3 Th1s and the forums are for mature topic. If you don't like how they correct spelling when you get unbanned just stay off the forums. You can go to chat or something. I am pretty sure complaining will get you banned :)
