I just read a topic about healers getting gear choices and it was responded to by blizz (Ghostcrawler) and since the topic was locked I will provide this

Posters should spell correctly and avoid using all CAPS. ......Ghostcrawler

Now blizz you can lock me if you want but Ghostcrawler's response is completely inappropriate. I find this to be a direct shot at someone and if this is the kind of service I can expect from posting then I hope you Ghostcrawler look again at what your stated role is with blizzard. I have found many topics in which you mispelled and edited later yet no one has brought those out to humiliate you and that is exactly what happened here.

This could have been handled privately for the issue at hand and not publicly to humiliate someone because you (Ghostcrawler) do not like the topic regardless if it was posted in the wrong forum. It is disturbing to think I pay money for your service of what I consider a great game, and that is what it is a game, only to be ridiculed for using a shorthand version of posting. You either agree with this despicable behavior or not, but the bottom line is we pay you for this not the other way around. Ghostcrawler I have seen your posts teeter ever so close to the line and I think you just crossed it.

thier forum thier rules. stfu an get a real topic

Wow. Find something worth getting indignant about, okay?

And no, if you'd actually read the thread in question, the response was appropriate. That wasn't a second language issue, that was a laziness issue. Make your threads clear and well thought out or expect that sort of reaction, I say.

Q u o t e:


Attacking someone cause they cant spell... sounds like High School all over again. Of coarse your going to agree with the blue cause they nominated you teachers pet. He could have at least edited the post and un capsed it. Ghostcrawler is just as bad as Tseric for that post.

---

so should you be sad cause you have no idea whats going on or because you have no idea what you're talking about? let us know man. let us know

The thread in question was horribly structured and difficult to read as well as broke multiple forum rules. Even then, the question itself could of been answered using a small amount of common sense.

Believe it or not, there are forums out there that are rather strict when it comes to how you post and have no problem publicly mocking your post if they feel it's content is that terrible, useless, or just trolling.

Edit: Discussing locked threads is also against the forums rules if I remember right.

---

People are free to misspell everything under the sun. It's not against the law.

However, it does make you look like a complete idiot to anyone who actually has an education.

So yeah, go ahead and continue spelling like a third grader if you like. But, when people call you on it, don't expect your "grammar police" retort to carry much weight with anyone who matters.

Q u o t e:
As for GC posting inappropriately, I'd simply disagree there... but I'm noticing a lot of things look different from this side.

---

No, it looks completely appropriate for us white-texters too.

Bad, repetitive, misspelled QQ thread in all caps was locked, and a blue said threads should contain all caps and hideous spelling.

Cry me a river.

So how many times was it "High School all over again" for you?

You'll have to excuse us people born before Pets.com went out of business. We tend to think not every public forum should look like a Sidekick with Tourette's.

He didn't make the forum rules, and if he's going to change them he needs to change them first before he stops enforcing them, otherwise he's showing favoritism.

This forum has rules and they're more stringent than the other forums. They have been very tolerant and allowed people to cross the line quite a bit. The thread in question would have not been constructive and would have been filled with people complaining about it violating not just this forum’s rules but the general forum rules. People would have asked why the thread wasn’t locked and they would have been right to do so. This was a case where no matter what he did someone was going to be offended, so he might as well take the action he can back up.

As far as the snarky remark. Well, maybe the poster will remember and consider it next time before he posts.

I checked out the title and the thread, and I have no problem with what GC did there.

I have a serious problem with the censorship of honest opinion on the forums, but that was a rather obvious troll, and not such a case.

To reiterate:

Posters should refrain from using caps.

All CAPS is an wide accepted form of YELLING when it comes to internet communication. Most of the kids who scream at GC and others don't realize this has been so since before your precious AOL came on the scene.

Caps is rude.

Some feel CAPS is for "emphasis". Wrong, thats what quotation, underlinging and bold is for.
