[quote=jesrhel]Well... I see a lot of topics titled with wrong/awful grammar and shortcuts like cte gfx chck ths out. It just bugs me. I'm a grammar freak. So, umm can mods change the titles... is that possible or they don't have access? If no, then excuse me for being such a primadonna. [/quote] your right its really bugging, but we cant really blame them, maybe its because of text lingo, but your request, cannot be done, moderators only correct if it violates the rules, unfortunately its not in the rules. happy holidays

Same as me. I really hate Sticky Caps. Very sickening eyesore. I can still tolerate with improper English because I know that not all FTalkers are very good in English.

hey there, why correct the thread's title if its grammar would be wrong? the mods can only punish those posters who use sTicKy CaPs frequently. let the posters be, if your irritated with the wrong grammar of the english language, PM them and correct them. ... if i am not mistaken, this topic was opened a few months ago. i was on the petition to have a correct grammar speculations around here. but we should be considerate that not all of us are good in english. esp that ftalk's member is coming from the later part of asia. means there not very good in english. just let them be.

I said correct. For example I posted this: free cte gfx hirr. the mods may change it to Free cute graphics here. Another, I posted: Posts yours pretty photos, the mods may correct it to Post your pretty photos. btw, what's wrong with correcting a thread's title?

What If we had a section we're we can use text lingo? and a section we're we can't because some secion is very important or very general to discuss and some are not like chit chat section. just my opinion

[quote=dondon]we don't have a rule for text lingo [/quote] yes thats wat im trying to say

^ thank you very much. I think you're the only one who can understand what I'm trying to say.

@Don: yes, MODs cannot change the title of the topics, however, let me quote again my response to this topic. [quote=jieduck]If this suggestion will not be triumphant, then please take my advise, you, me and all other responsible members (who know "something" about english), should PM the Topic Starter and advise him/her to correct the title of his/her topic if it needs to be corrected.[/quote] I hope that it is clear. Happy new year! [spoiler]IMY!!! ILY!! [/spoiler]

[quote=dondon]Im not saying im not trusting a moderator for editing the post, but just to be fair. Mods can abused it, they will just edit the post they hate or they dont like. If we have other way rather than editing the title by mods, it will be much better sir. [/quote] i think mods are responsible enough not to play around by editing what they dont like (unless of course if its offensive, on the other hand, if its offensive,.,then im sure,they'll lock it immediately) I have already said in the other thread my opinion regarding grammar issues., Mods themselves make grammatical errors. Moreover, they are not here to play our English Teacher. They don't need another added responsibility by checking if topic titles are grammatically correct. The best way is to PM the threadstarter. Members and mods can PM da TS to change the title. It will also serve as a reminder to the TS so that the next time, he/she will make a thread., he/she will be more grammar-conscious in posting a new topic so as not to annoy members who are maybe grammar-conscious in their nature. [quote=dondon]as i said before, mods does not have the right to change the TITLE. If mods edit the title, it will also affect the content of the post of the TS,[/quote] its only a grammar they will correct, they will not change the title so as to contradict with the topic.,which means, the content will still be the same. example: ( choice your own signiture from my premades!) they'll just change it to-->> ( choose your own signature from my premades!) I hope i have set points clear.

As far as I know, I don't think every member will correct the thread starters every now and then, I mean, it's not their job. It's still up to the moderators, I mean, come on, I can only see some thread starters doing like this every once in a while. But jieduck's suggestion might be good however, whether you like it or not, each of them could still get offended. What if a lot of people flooded the said user reminding "hey your topic title is not good, etc. etc." How would you react to that? Isn't that annoying?
