Grammar and Spelling in Blogs
"Correct grammar, spelling, and formatting is mandatory in blogs so that others can easily understand what you’re trying to say. "
If you notice, that statement appears in the rules when you submit blogs. I've been seeing a lot of blogs where that rule has been neglected. Now, I'm not going to go bonkers and delete blogs for one little word spelled incorrectly, but I am going to start enforcing that a bit better. Please, try and spell check and proofread before you post a blog.
If you want to post something and don't feel like spelling correctly or using correct grammar, make it a blah blah. If you need help with grammar, you can check out this blog I wrote, and if you need help with spelling Dictionary.com is a quick and easy resource.
You'll also notice in that rule it says to use correct formatting. This means use paragraphs, no obnoxiously large/small font and colors that are readable.
Thanks guys =] And remember, if you ever have any questions about blogs feel free to message me or leave me a comment and I'll get back to you.

As long as you aren't mean and don't post stupid things you're pretty much abiding by GSBs rules xD

I remember when Dujo went number crazy and gave me an insane amount of posts D:
xD
I've learned never to complain over post numbers again xD

i don't think GSB has alot of rules...
i've never had ANY problems with any of the rules O_O
so i don't see where people get that from

and no, GSB doesn't have an obnoxious amount of rules if you have and use common sense =]
I pretty much agree with Kurtni there. It may seem like GSB has alot of rules, but just use common sense and you'll be fine.
Like, obv. you're gonna get something done if you're going around posting hate comments etc.

and no, GSB doesn't have an obnoxious amount of rules if you have and use common sense =]

i think one person in particular needs a ban from the blogs.

I agree. :shifty:
but thank you for writing this Kurtni! I wish people would pay more attention to the blog rules...

Is it just me or does GSB have more rules than when Hitler ruled Germany O_O
Nah but good blog anyway I understand why mine got deleted... I did swear despite knowing it said "no 'profanity'."
And at least this blog ain't slagging people down for making mistakes its actually trying to give them guidance (which is f*cking rare).
So yeah cool blog.

I am the blog nerd.
and I don't know who you're talking about lils, but you can always report users to me in case I overlooked someone. I've been busy lately so I usually just check blogs for length, so bad spelling/grammar has slipped by me, but I have more free time now, so I'll be a better blog mod. =]
Kurtni, February 17th, 2009 at 09:08:55pm
Yes, listen to Kurtni, cause she is the blog nerd :O
Zomg please don't hurt me, but you know it's true :hand:
