I support LB's promotion to grammar police! Give him his own badge.

Badge me up boys!

Speaking of badges, are we getting avatars support? I have a great one ready to be used and laughed at.

You can add them to your profile already - they just aren't shown next to the posts. Click my name to view my profile and see if you can name my picture. Without using the internet to look he/she/it up!

I'd argue that one's debatable. Considering the acronyms should all be dotted anyway - C.P.U. - clearly the punctutation guidelines are in a state of flux. Affording the apostrophe an extra role for appending onto acronyms is a perfectly acceptable evolution IMO.

Initialisms.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

I stand corrected.

I think you just want a spanking with my stick.

It's not a scan of a moustached, hat-wearing Tom of Finland policeman, is it?

Much worse

They are already showing if you use the default style.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Oh yes. But no-one should be using that...

 

[DuckThor Evil]

After going back and forth with each, I am now proudly using the default skin

 

[AlNom]

Boooo

Another reason to give LB that job. Instead of a moderator's ban hammer, he'd be equipped with a Grammar Hammer.

...


I'll get my coat.

Do I have to do an interview? Will I have to wear clothes?

I heard mention of a casting couch...

A section of the Titanfall 2 thread was removed yesterday. Not complaining about the moderation, but it would be nice to have notification of it for affected posters if possible.

Yes, all the posts not about TitanFall2 but about TitanFall1 graphics bickering was removed.

I didn't think notification about offtopic posts being removed would be necessary and would only generate more noise. I'll consider using the notifying posters in the future the next time a mass cleanup is done.

Post don't vanish, they get moderated.
So if one of your post vanished, it means it was noise instead of signal, learn from it and make sure it's signal next time.

Indeed, and that was acknowledged: "A section of the Titanfall 2 thread was removed yesterday. Not complaining about the moderation"

Reasonable responses to sections of 'noise' posts can be swept up in the cull. This is to be expected though, as the responses can fall out of context without the posts to which they were replying.

I was just thinking it would be courteous to have an alert raised when a post is deleted. No need for a reason or anything, just something to let posters know that a section of a thread that included their posts has been moderated.

Seemed like the sort of thing that could be automated, but if it involves manual intervention then no worries.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

There is a checkbox to allow a notification for owners of deleted/moved posts. Just needs the mod to remember to click it.
