I feel like an elementary school teacher, but please try to not mock posters in this forum. The people who are posting here are generally new to either poker in general, or Full Tilt and may not understand the workings of a game or the site.

There are also plenty of people who post from countries where English isn't the primary language, so the fact that they made the effort to post in English should be welcomed.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between someone with a valid point that doesn't speak English primarily, and an idiotic 5th grader looking for some fun.

We'll probably have to err on the cautious side.

Good point, though.

I think this is something we are all guilty of to some extent, and I do agree that this may influence someone's decision about whether or not to return to the forum.

I will try to behave myself from now on.

Gotta agree. This is the one section of the forum that should be free of jabs and sarcasm.

Worthy post imo. I personally keep all my aggression out of this section of the forum, and others should do the same.
