My Guide To Becoming A Pro Forum Police

[Dalinuel]

First your job is to scan forums until you find a double post of another thread and promptly tell the op if they would have done a simple search they wouldn't of needed this thread in the first place! :eek:

Secondly... you can look for threads in wrong sections and its your duty to tell the op that this thread is in wrong section and it needs to be moved! :eek:

Well if any pro forum police have anything to add please post below :D

...the word "hard."

Grammar patrol!

[ninjaduck]

Aah the banter ;)

[Iron Hand]

Although I appluad your efforts I feel it should be kept to a friendly pm to the offender, after all they may not be aware of the search options or correct subject placement. When using the phone app version of forum there is no search option for subject matter. IMO it is better to pm than to call out the person posting in a public manner. If this is met with resistence or refusal to adhere to forum standards then simply make use of the report button under the thread and if you feel nessecary send a pm to a moderator. This avoids hard feelings between posters and flaming as well.

Just sending some well meaning advice to help and how i handle the forum violation misdemeaners. It is up to you all how you wish to handle it, i just feel giving the poster the benifit of doubt of being unaware should be considered first.

Didn't someone get a thread like this closed, and the get an infraction ;)

All the forum coppers beat me to it.

[Noodleleg]

This is the forum police! Come out with your hands up!

There is a run-on on the first sentence, and can be easily solved with a comma after search. The other two you bolded are completely correct, you phat derp.

The ones I wrote in bold font were actually the corrections of what was wrote. Just saying. Also, yes it could be corrected with a comma but i wasn't focusing on punctuation. Just for this, you have received a 200k fine and 3 points on your license.
Now, I advise you to give less cheek to officers. Next time you will receive a hefty sentence.

What'd I correct? :O

[Matutd]

What'd I correct? :O
Didn't you say the others that I bolted were already correct?

[Noodleleg]

Didn't you say the others that I bolted were already correct?

I'm wondering why you bolded them. Dan had those words in correct form... Why bold :O?

[Matutd]

He wrote "of" and "its". The correct terms are "have" and "it's".

[Noodleleg]

He wrote "of" and "its". The correct terms are "have" and "it's".

Aha I see! I didn't see his original post :P! I thought you bolted it just fo sho!

[Suentous PO]

You made this guide solely for rep, you are a bad person and should not breed ever. You haven't attracted all the cops, greater tactics are needed.
Lik u shud hef wrut thz al moar beddur then u dids. Ifs yu ken tri mor negs tym dem mehbe i givs u repz dis tym u don try gud. Peepul be hepy wiv you wen u lern to imprez thm wit ur masiv vokabulary ahn perfek prunusiayshun.
Also you need to copy the first origional guide and change only by adding,
Hope this helps
