I think what gets lost here is a lot of people are confusing poor spelling with being a thug or a moron but what a lot of people fail to realize is a lot of the stuff that thugs and ghettos misspell is on purpose.

I don't think punctuation and bad grammar are exactly what they are going after. They are going after this: quote: Originally posted by 93sspCOUPE: Dis shiz e hellza mezed up blood I kan na belive dat foo stra trip n
You need to stop posting that quote at the bottom. You obviously didn't realize that was a joke to the op of the thread that was posting to show him how dumb is typing looked to everyone that looked at his thread topic. This is like the second time now if you got something against me send me a p.m I'm not gonna be put on blast over and over again and classified as "ghetto ban material" over a joke you couldn't understand
I was just using the ghetto talk as an example and yours was the easiest to access. Don't care if it was a joke or not, its a good example of what ghetto talk is that should be banned. [ December 18, 2011, 04:18 PM: Message edited by: WildFire532FB ]

I think we need a link to a real thread posted on here that gives an example of what's acceptable and what's not. I can say with much confidence that the mods aren't banning folks for common misspellings and grammar mistakes. I think the mods are banning folks that type like they never made it past the 8th grade. And I think the point the mods are making is that people that haven't made it past the 8th grade are more inclined to seek shady ways of income, such as stealing. I post on a few forums, and currently cafords has gone down in terms ghettoness. But also, when I first posted on here, there was a lot of racist and prejudice post because of either what club I was represented, or because of what city I listed. 9cobra8 sent me a few PM's back in the day and we also chatted over then myspace and I found some contentment with dealing with racist and prejudice members on here. If the mods are going to ban ghetto activity and ban members with poor grammar and spelling skills, I feel the mods should also ban racist activity and ban members that post racist remarks because they too, make the site look bad.

Could it be more simply put? When did everyone get so dam sensitive. This website is a privilege to us created by the Mods its not a right we have they are the boss. People on here take shit to the heart. Mods keep up the good work. all you crybabys start a forum of your own where there's no judgment and hold hands and smile and shit while your members steal from eachother...

Since that time, it's progressed into a cesspool for low-class (if you don't know the difference between low-class and race and education and ..... then educate yourself on the topic before spouting off) people who are pretty damned proud to be going nowhere with their lives.
Every forum loses people and gains people over time - that's natural. However, the members this forum has been shedding in relation to those that it has been gaining has definitely shown a downward trend in terms of the 'quality'. There are many, many older members on here that are sick and tired of all the bullshit that we've gotta wade through, all the crap we've got to pick through, and the reality that what was once a GREAT site is mired down with too many low-life jackasses.
It's actually pretty simple - not that different from what you find in most arenas of life - either follow the rules or leave. Very straight-forward. The mods/admins/whoever are apparently (and rightly so) sick of the crap to the point where they're threatening to 'clean up' the site - if that's a problem for you, then you're the problem.
+1 I'm actually very pleased to see that the Mods are making an effort to improve the community here.
It's as simple as this; If you show up to an interview for a job, and in the course of doing your background check, they find that you do "sideshows" in residential areas, street race, brag about and encourage running from the authorities, habitually use drugs or traffic drugs, assault people, own and use or traffic in unregistered or illegal firearms, have been in prison (and see that as a point of pride), steal cars and auto parts for yourself or to sell back to the enthusiast community, and can't form a decent sentence to save your life... do you really think you're getting hired? Do you think you have a discrimination case against them if they don't hire you?
This has nothing to do with discrimination against any race or culture. If you think being a "thug" or whatever you want to call it is a distinctive trait of one particular ethnicity or culture, I'm sure there are plenty of people in those ethnicity groups who would be offended to be identified in such a way. Being an ignorant scum bag has nothing to do with being black. It has nothing to do with being poor. There are plenty of people from good homes of all races, who choose this "lifestyle"...
If it's a lifestyle choice you want, then by all means enjoy. But this website isn't required to put up with you.

Allowed not aloud. If you were more or a proponent of the language that might not have gotten past you.
When visiting or living in Mexico, or any other country for that matter, it is customary to speak Spanish or whatever the local vernacular is. When living in the USA it is the same. It's been tolerated too long but does not have to be. If you don't agree then GTFO, just like for this forum. [ December 18, 2011, 05:46 PM: Message edited by: FSTRDNU ]
