I will mail the fellow some elementary grammar + spelling books ???
Maybe he will learn to punctuate??? and spell???
I mean, its stupid to be mean to new members or get mad cos of some stupid post, but when you have idiots posting stuff like:
eafbesk???fblkefbewbfwebofhwofboewbpfeowibf???oiewbf???iowbaeo???fbobewofbaoweqioewor98gt2098gbb???8fgf3fp93f8???fg93g0gf0gf???
it gets really annoying.
I mean when you start yelling at people and cussing becos they are trying to improve esato, then complain that they are against esato, umm... ok...
as @switchbitch said, is your forehead in the shape of a battleship?
nah its more like homer simpson's.

Quite right, and to that end I would like to raise the point I made before our grammatically challenged friend interrupted; would anyone agree with me that the moderators are far more active than they used to be? Personally I find this to be both good and bad, it is vital that the moderators be on hand to sort out any problems and to make sure Esato runs smoothly, on the other hand, and after sampling opinion amongst some other 'veteran members' (can someone please define what this term actually means please), I would propose the theory that overt moderator interference can actually dissuade many people from posting, thus resulting in the bland Esato we see today, when compared with Esato as it was last year.

I am sure this is mostly directed at me as the most active moderator since I am able to be online so much of the day, so I will reply
you mention interference. I think the definition for the usage of that word in this context comes about due to certain members being unhappy that these days the forum rules are being enforced more rigidly (probably due to a moderator being online more), and that is happening not least because of threads like this which discuss "the Esato that once was".
I wonder how many members want to revert to the way it was a year ago which was the cause of several threads like this one being created?
As far as disuading members to post, I monitor almost every thread on Esato and I have not noticed any reduction in posting. Indeed I also monitor our statistics page which shows details such as this and again I see no significant change there either.
I believe I have had some impact recently in reducing the garbage posting thereby making the ratio of quality (well, mobile related) posts relative to the number of garbage posts much higher. If this is disuading members to post them I am for it.
However, I/we are always happy to hear criticism (or indeed praise) of our efforts by members and will take on board whatever is said in that regard

but people are quick to pick holes if you type something wrong. rather than point out the positives.
