Scratch

You've got me on that, I never saw it when I registered. (D'oh!) I know most rules to most forums by heart.

I have a couple rules you may want to add, though.
- No shouting. Using Nothing but caps is shouting and is rude.
- Check your grammar before posting; like shouting using chat grammar or misspelling everything on purpose will not be tolerated. A typo now and then is fine.

Eh, that's all I got for now.

@Policing grammar that much is rather silly... 

It's not that hard to restrict from DOING THIS! DO YOU SEE HOW ANNOYING THIS IS!?

Don't misspell thing on purpose. Is that hard? It's common sense, honestly, People who tawk laik diss, R idyuts. Itz * and im serprized anee1 gets awae wiff it.
Like I said, not knowing how to spell something and making a typo or two wouldn't be be bad at all.
I should probably mention 1337 5P34K1NG, 5H0U1D 1 G0 7H3R3? 1 Wi11 4NYW4Y 101010101. You shouldn't need a translator to know what somebody says.
Translation: --Leet Speaking, Should I go there? I will anyway lolololol.

xD, sounds like you're trying to talk and eat a sandwich at the same time

that's not off topic at all. (Sarcasm is the lulz.)

I don't agree. There's already the terms of use, and the rules in there are kept extremely well - for instance, you break them, the Scratch team catches you and bans you within a day.

Okay, anybody who talks like that (which is nobody), clearly doesn't know what the letters on a keyboard are for. If people don't understand them, so be it, it's their problem - they chose to type in a fashion where nobody understands them. If they want people to be able to understand them, they wouldn't have said it like that. It's the not the Scratch team's responsibility to make sure everybody understands eachother, it's the people who want to be understood's.

People already get banned quickly - so, you're saying this is a bad idea because you guys have people who can ban? Fail.

This topic is rubbish - Wow, that was just being a jerk. Just saying.

I'm looking for serious back-up for what you guys are saying. Prove to me this is a bad idea, all I've seen so far is mindless babbling because you guys don't want stricter rules. Hey, prove me wrong. For all I know you're trying to get me to take the topic down. (Not happening.)

One of my problems with this is that it'll do nothing to stop commercial spammers.

Ok, people that get banned that quickly probably isn't good for a children's site.

And also, it's a person's choice wether or not to type with correct grammar and spelling. 1337 15 /\/07 7|-|47 |34|).

So really, with rules about typing that are that strict, it's harder to just talk normally.

I should post all my further messages in 1337 language if this doesn't et considered, then who's laughing? Hmm? 1 7H1NK 17 W0U1D B3 M3!

Why should there be rules on grammar? It helps NO ONE!!! What if a  3rd grader, who was a little behind came one.

Hi their! I fowned out abowt Scratch from frends.

BAN HAMMER
BAD GRAMMAR
A stupid rule I think
A follower would have to have some kind of mental kink

Why should I not be able
To misspell table
What if I don't want to be
Understood like everybody

Why place such a pointless rule
Why ban me, cause I am behind in school
Oh looky here, I wrote a poem, oh looky here
To bad poems don't contain good grammar

I guess I'll be banned
Utterly canned

I had better grammar than that in 1st grade...

Everybody has different strengths and weaknesses...please don't be mean 

No, not really.

Not really missing anything except for a little common sense. I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone's gonna use your rules. I will have an explanation, but I'm late at this time and will finish the post when I get back

Unfinished posts, that's what's going to be in my next rant. *Writes on a list*

Just what I was waiting for. You seem to make up these rules based on mistakes people accidentally do. That's why they won't work.
From what I saw over the past few months the system goes like this.
1 offense, you get a warning in messages
After 3-4 warnings you get a day ban
Repeat. This time a 3 day ban. Then a week, then 2 weeks then a month, then forever.
However this was only with the very first troll
Right now it's 3 strikes and your out
1 day, 1 week, then forever

That's why we don't need your rules. They already have strict rules
