Im A sh** speller and grammar is not a strong point of mine due to lack of school.
I have now got my second warning (3 and out?)
Do you think this is fair and have you received a warning for missing the odd capital letter or full stop.
We cant all be English teachers
Thing that is annoying me is I have being trying to get it right.
Famine need not reply thank you.
 
You're in the wrong forum. This has what to do with GT5?

You have 1 warning, not 2. Warnings are only warnings and do not affect your membership here at all. The number of warnings we can give is infinite. Infractions are usually 3 and out, but not always.

We don't give out warnings for missing the odd capital or full stop. We check your posting history before we give out warnings.

Locking this as we have numerous threads in the correct forum about this (The site feedback forum) that you can refer to for more info.
 
Yes, it does:

AUP
* You will post all messages in English.
* You will not use “textspeak” (“r”, “u”, “plz”, etc.) in your messages. Decent grammar is expected at all times, including proper usage of capital letters.

* Violation of these rules may result in termination of your account or your ability to access the GTPlanet website, and your service provider(s) may be notified. GTPlanet expressly reserve our rights under the law to take any other actions we deem necessary, and may remove posts or withdraw membership at any time for any reason.

You agreed to these rules before you even started signing up for this site. You even did it twice!

Do you think this is fair and have you received a warning for missing the odd capital letter or full stop.

That isn't the case and you know it. For a start, punctuation isn't covered by the AUP, but capital letters are. Let's have a look at you "missing the odd capital letter" shall we?

trying to get coloured x1 today if I have no luck I will come back and see if you still want to trade.

Two weeks ago you were told why your posts weren't being approved. You're still choosing to act that way now - all of those above messages were posted in the last 24 hours - and as a result you received your first warning. Your response was that you found it petty - and are now choosing to air your grievance in public and in the wrong forum (now moved to the right one).

No-one demands perfection - there is no provision for perfection in the AUP - only the effort to put capitals where they should be and not to use textspeak so that everyone, including our tens of thousands of international members, can read everything posted on the site with ease.
