As many of you know, the spellsmurfing and grammar in this forum is deterioratsmurfing so rapidly, many posts are nearly impossible to understand. Clearly, somethsmurfing must be done to correct this.

I've discussed this with several GMC Staff, and we've agreed on a solution. The followsmurfing system will be started in a few days*:

New Spellsmurfing and Grammar Rules

    * For each spellsmurfing or grammatical error, members will receive one penalty point.

    * When the number of penalty points reaches 10, that member will be put on moderator preview. When the number of points exceeds 15, their account will be closed.

    * Banned members can re-apply for membership by submittsmurfing a 500-word essay to a moderator. The essay must be free of spellsmurfing and grammar errors, and it must be GM-related. If the moderator approves the essay, the member's account will be re-opened.


We want to be fair, so we will grant the followsmurfing exceptions:

Exceptions

    * Non-native English speakers will be allowed an extra 10 points before besmurfing banned.
    * Canadians will be allowed 20 extra points.


We expect to have the scorsmurfing system set up in a few days... so we'll start the new rules by the end of next week.

* Moderators are exempt from these rules. Our duties often require us to post quickly, so some errors may occur. However, if a member sees an error in a moderator post, he can report it for "extra credit".

I fell for it until I read "Canadians will be allowed 20 extra points."

People are more tolerant of canadians because we realise that we are actually all comedians and if we say somethsmurfing we likely dont mean it
