Have grammar, spelling, and punctuation rules been suspended in these forums?

Thank the Public School System.

I received an e-mail yesterday, which was apologising for errors made in the censorship. This was from Yahoo UK.\nThey are trying to do something about it. Apparently the address for complaining to when you receive a violation which you think is wrong had an error in it, so many people never received replies to their violation complaints.\nPerhaps it will be better now.

obviously not in your grammar book! Look those abbreviations are cool in moderation but in mass amount just make you look like a 1st level retard\n\nek

I couldn't agree with you more.  I mean, have you seen some of the screen names Yahoo allows the members to have?  That alone is enough to ban my kids from this and I haven't even started on some of the questions that get posted.  And who cares about being able to report something as abuse.  In a matter of seconds, inappropriate questions have already had their effect on kids probably on the site just looking for homework help.  Horrible.  Yahoo needs to install a language monitor so if a question has certain words, it is reviewed before it is posted.

(1) Many of the most funny and interesting Askers have been suspended or fear being suspended unjustly.\n\n(2) Some of the best Users have gone on vacation or are taking a break from the total inappropriate direction that the site seems to be going.\n\n(3) Some Users have left the site after spending months fighting a tide of what they have called “poor management.”\n\n(4) A few Really Good and Funny Users have left on a quest for “Yumio’s Silver Bullet.”  It is believed that if this is shot into the Yahoo! mainframe at midnight on October 31, 2006, that all of the poopy Questions and Answers will magically disappear from the Yahoo! Answers site.\n\n(5) Most of the remaining Users are doing their typical “Snore Pie with Yawn Sauce” (as Red Fraggle would comment) routine.\n\n(6) There is also a Google User group which is currently kidnapping Yahoo! Answer Users in an effort to find out what “Be the First to Find Out!” means.

Thank you for asking this question, i was suspended because a certian idiot reporte me for the dumbest reason, gaming, chatting, adult content, whatever she could think of.  Yet when I dipsuted it no one had the courtesy to even write me back.\n\nI was even given a violation for answering a question in which i got a best answer...is that not so stupid.  at least my questions were amusing instead of the same old lame ones that are posted here daily.\n\nWhere the hell is the justice in all of this.  I wish that people who have the balls to respond and email me with their snarky comments would at least post questions that i in turn could respond to or put up their email address.  Bunch of gutless wonders.  Yahoo should at least make the attempt to answer the person who is taking the time and effort to fight the deletion...

Whoa1 Check out all the responses. Guess you are not the only one, huh?  But the biggest giveaway was when all of a sudden the "check spelling" box appeared! LOL.  I thought that was great. I haven't noticed that it is necessarily working that well to halt the misspellings, and "chatspeak" (like, say: "LOL"--sorry) but at least it shows all of us who do care that we are not alone and that good old Yahoo is responsive to our particular mania.  \n\nTry what I do if you want to stay on here and not go blind or insane:  Squint while you read!  Ha ha. I tried drinking but that didn't work as well.

how did you find out she was suspended?  It seems really funny to me that people can post all kinds of crap here, curse and be profane, but let someone come online here actually wanting help and BOOM!  She gets kicked off.\nI am starting to think that Yahoo Answers is composed of a bunch of hypocrites.

I've only been here awhile so I don't know what you've missed..\n\nI hate that! You think they'd have enough sense to erase some this craziness, but NOOOO!\nI hate it when you get a violation for a simple, perfectly good, profanity-free question. Once I asked 'What do you take in your coffee?' And it got deleted! Y!A is on drugs...

Yahoo is restructuring the Answers and quite a bit of stuff is screwed up.  Took a week before my photo albums got straightened up.\n\nYes, I had a voilation just today.  It was question, actually written as a question, proper spelling, no profanity, and Yahoo deleted it because they said it was not a question.\n\nYou got me on that one!

Was it already two weeks? If it was, they're probably deleted. Otherwise you could check My Q&A at the NavBar.

Dear Friend:\n\nExplain what and stuff.  (First example)\n\nIn a world without grammar I would go nuts.  I have no respect for those who cannot use the language properly or communicate well.  I cannot abide constant misspelling of words that is not due to English as a second language.  I will not read anything that someone has butchered words such as "with" with "wit".  Its not cute, its not cool, it makes the person look absolutely stupid. \n\nI refuse to read anything that is not paragraphed at all.   I am not usually so harsh, but this is my pet peeve.  GBYou

Makes me want to get my cap pistol out and shoot Tonto, Yahoo seems to have no rhyme nor reason as to what is a violation or what is not a violation. Some things slide and others you get a notice. I don't think they really have a set policy.

I don't think that's entirely true. I've seen plenty of questions and answers here with incorrect spelling, incorrect grammar, and with abbreviations like that. Maybe you see it less in the 'Words and Wordplay' section because people who are in this section generally have more respect for the correct use of the English language.

Some of the all-too-common butcherings of English (spelling), especially on Yahoo message boards:\n\n"alot" or "allot" (your example; not the word that means "distribute")\n"definately"\n"looser" (I'm not referring to the opposite of "tighter")\n"rediculous"\n"artical"\n"prolly"\n"grammer" (usually when being called out on it)\n\nThe worst part of this isn't the ignorance that *some* have regarding the misspellings, etc. but the lack of concern shown by those who do it intentionally. They have the attitude that this type of forum isn't the place where anyone *has* to show their grammar skills (or lack thereof), almost as though they pick when they want to turn it on and off. Why not use these skills all the time? Keep them sharp!
