I certainly understand being annoyed, but that does not justify some peoples behavior. There are alot of young new wow players that post here and we should be mindful of that. Big deal if the grammar isnt 100% or they recycle a topic. Be constructive and not insulting. It isnt hard to do. And every time I see someone respond in a way that is insulting and rude I will gladly let them know.Id get sick of seeeing this subject posted too If I was trying to justify my own rude insulting behavior. All in all let me just apologize for the fact that mean people **** me off.
While I understand your frustration, you really need to understand mine.
In order to be taken seriously, people need to know several things:
1) How to spell.
2) How to use punctuation and grammar properly
3) The basics of netiquette, like CAPS=YELLING.
4) Not to use abbreviations - "u" does not equal "you", and "2" does not equal "to".
5) Posting questions that are answered in the sticky is considered to be poor form. people should read before posting.
6) Posting questions that have been answered recently (still on the same page) is also something that should not occur.
There are tools available on the internet to help people who can't post properly. I use
dictionary.com on a regular basis.
sentence construction is covered in the online wikipedia.
Admittedly, there should be room for a little leeway, since English may not be the native language of a poster, or the poster might have some sort of learning disability.
Basically, what you are complaining about is that we should respect the disrespect that is shown to us by the people who can't type, YELL AT US, and show poor or no knowledge of netiquette. Do people make themselves flame-bait? Yes. Do they want to? It depends. Some of them do. With the knowlwdge that we have "hot buttons", they can come in and troll for responses/flames. I don't think that most of them are trolls, though. They are just people who are too lazy to do things properly.
