I'm new to mibba
Again, I'm new to mibba, and I'm very confused with all these rules. I deleted my quizilla account because quizilla sucks now, but I'm sort of rethinking what I've done. I know my account will get deleted for saying this, but mibba is starting to suck. There are so many rediculous rules! Pictures you post can't be random, they have to be of you. Spelling has to be perfect. You can't use caps lock too much. I mean, this is rediculous! I wrote one story and it said I had an "error" and it needed to be changed immediately. I'm only human! Who cares if I capitalize too much, or don't spell that well? What's the big deal?
If you're with me on the wierdness of all these rules, post a comment please!

I'm not whining. I'm confused as to why there are so many rules. I understand it's helping me as a writer but I'd like to be able to express myself in a normal way without my writing being told it isn't good enough. And if I get deleted, then that's fine, I'm just expressing my opinion. I hated quizilla and I'm glad I left it, I was just hoping I could write without being so..censored?

Take the opportunity to learn, little cricket = )
Pretend you're about to go fight a battle and you're gathering your weapons - the weapons being good grammar, accurate spelling, etc, etc.
If some people were a little snippy just ignore them. In their blunt way they're trying to help. And I agree with a lot of what these people have said.

And I'm sorry if I sound rude or mean.. It's just that, a lot of people have been complaining about this and.. well, it's really getting annoying. I took it out on you, so I'm sorry for that.

Yet another post about the rules being ridiculous.. To be honest, these flipping complaints are getting stupid and ridiculous, not the rules. >_<
See, I think of Mibba as a training area, where one can improve his writing. How can we improve our writing if we don't even learn how to spell properly and use correct grammar? That's like the first step in nurturing and developing your writing.
Why do people have to be so... I don't know, whiny? :( The rules are very simple.

There's a big difference between here and Quizilla. We're a proper writing site, so your writing has to be grammatically correct etc. If you need help, go to the Help Forum. There's plenty of threads telling you what to do within regards to story errors.
I don't think it's weird for the rules to be you have to write properly. I mean, the whole point of Mibba is to improve as an author. Plus, people are a lot more picky here about what they read. If things aren't properly written, people are less likely to read it.
All you need to do is apply the things you learn in school, here. If you need some help, there is people who will help you. All you need to do is ask.
Bashing the site is not the way to go about it.

Talking crap about any site will get you banned, by the way.

Okay, she is NEW. She is not familiar with this atmosphere, so of course she's going to feel a little uneasy about the rules. There's no need to be rude to her. We WANT people to join the site.
She just needs to be informer in further detail about the rules and their purposes.

You must take pride in your writting, enough to spell check anyways.
And if you don't, then why are you here?
Mibba's rules are useful, if it wasn't for them, Mibba would be Quizilla.
[Which nobody here wants because 'Zilla is awful now.]
I'm not trying to sound stuck up or snobby at all.
I'm just saying you came here for change right?
How can you begin to love Mibba [as much as the rest of us do] if your still living back at Quizilla?
You gotta give it a chance and give into change.
'Cause it's a good change, and it will make you a better writter.
=D

The rules are there to make this site better, it's not like they are life threatening. All the b*tching is starting to get stupid. If you don't like it then go back to Quizilla like you said.
