@september yes lol. this is the message they sent: https://i.imgur.com/IJaqE7S.png and this is the message i'd left on the forums that resulted in the message: https://i.imgur.com/6SDpJqe.png if anyone's interested. suffice to say my first attempt at being active on the forums left a weird taste in my mouth
...proper capitalisation? Holy shit, dude. Like allcaps and netspeak/typing quirks I can understand, but that is just ridiculous. (...unless they've got their panties in a bunch about "defo", which just...smfh, honestly. No wonder the whole forum sounds about as cheerful as a morgue.)
@nijigyaru i'm glad you said that, because i've also been feeling that way about it for a while. like, to the point where i've been considering an open letter about how maybe bureaucracy in a casual hobby space is part of why fls fell off
@september yeah. like... i told my room mate and she asked me if they had rules to reference before posting, and i was like "i didn't even think to check is proper capitalization was a rule" lol. i too wonder if defo and how i tend to leave off periods at the ends of paragraphs, but like. if you can't comprehend what i'm saying that's a pretentious you problem imo?
...they seriously did that?!
