ok

You have the option to place certain members on "Ignore" as well. If you go to their profile page click on "user list" under their name and hit "add to ignore". You will never see a post from those folks. Some people have been rough on you in this thread, but not everyone will treat you that way.
You do have the option, as Nate said to not log in if you wish.

all in all, i hope the OP got some help from the links i posted.

I apologize in advance for the hijack and will even it out by answering the already answered question.

Dyslexia is not a disease. It is a learning disability. You are born with it. And MerriAm Webster I trust more than MerriUm.


Bumblee bee is a co-dom/dominant mix, with the pastel gene being codom and the spider being dom.

There, now we're even.

The words are dominant, co-dominant, and recessive.

This is a joke. I got an infraction labeled as a "personal slur" because I explained the difference between dyslexia and not being able to spell.

First of all, I apologize to the OP if my post made him feel bad. I was only on the post for 20 seconds, but from what I saw, he only misspelled those three words, so I thought comparing it to dyslexia was a bit harsh. I didn't think it was a personal slur...certainly didn't mean it as one. My little brother can't spell and it was actually misdiagnosed as dyslexia from the ages of 8-10 years old, so this is a topic I know fairly well.

I'm directionally challenged (can't tell my east from west/north from south without thinking really hard), so he and I joke about it all the time about how we're going to start a map making business. I'd have east and west backwards and he'd have them spelled wrong. Haha...trying to make light of it, not make a "personal slur.

As far as the mod who gave me the infraction goes...you're weak. You used some other post buried in this thread (which I never saw) as your "warning" and then you put "personal slur" as the reason for the infraction...just so people who see it will think I'm a real dirtbag. If I were into hurling personal insults over the internet, this would be the time...not for some guy who can't spell three words (which probably aren't even in the dictionary).

For some reason I thought this place was relaxed and fun...must have been thinking of a different forum. :confused:

Hi,

Firstly please refrain from insulting the staff.

I am the staff member who made that warning post by the way - the fact you chose not to read it is hardly the fault of anyone else but yourself.

It may also be worth explaining to you that, had you not mentioned it yourself on the open boards, nobody would have had the faintest clue what the infraction you recieved was for. This is done in the current fashion for precisely the same reasons you mention.

And, since you apparently also failed to read this section, I will quote it for you;

Can I please ask that you read the rules of the forum that you agreed to when you joined and the infraction system that we use to enforce them.

These are not new announcements introduced in secret or anything. They were in place long before you joined the site and agreed to follow them.

Wow, the OP is now leaving the site all because he couldn't spell.....awesome...way to make someone feel welcomed...Thank god spelling is one of my strengths or else I may have had the same welcome he did.

The ignore button goes for us to...if you don't like the way that someone spells or speaks then just ignore them...easy as that.

I know that I am new to the forums here so my opinion may not matter as much as some others but this whole thread just seemed ridiculous and unnecessary.. I'm done with it and will go ahead and continue to enjoy the site

Until you just told everyone - no one other than staff would see the reason for your infraction. Not on your profile, not anywhere. All they see is that you have 1 infraction worth 5 points - a very mild infraction compared to disrespect to staff or disrespect to site, which carries a hefty 50 points. And I daresay most people don't pay that much attention to the little numbers to the left to see how many points people have. I rarely look at them myself. It's not the scarlet letter you seem to believe that it is.

As Derek has already explained - there is an appeals process for infractions, they were covered in the TOS that you agreed to when you joined the site. The infraction system is explained in a sticky in Site Info.

There are several well respected members on this site who carry infractions, there are staff members that have earned infractions in their early days here before they became staff. An infraction hardly makes you a bad guy. In the big scheme of things going on in this world, has a five point infraction really ruined your day that much? :confused:

If you'd like to appeal it, follow the process that Derek outlined and the staff TEAM will review.

I don't care if people read what I typed. I was worried about the ones who I thought would see "personal slur" when clicking on my name. Anyone who reads my post will see it wasn't as bad as moderator boy made it sound. I'm now aware that the infractions aren't visible like that and I really don't care.

Review process? I have almost as many animals to care for as there are minutes in a day...wasting more time on this isn't even an option.

As long as that "personal slur" thing isn't next to my name, we're good.

working at a school I find that kids who text more than type tend to type like they text. In a world where we all use spell check for everything....I don't think it is available on here. (Maybe I just missed it). I would also like to remind everyone that lots of ppl have English as a second language...therefore spelling is difficult. I have seen a few of them on here. Yes it is hard to read sometimes ...but still. Pointing out the flaws in someone only makes them feel stupid, lower than you, or sometimes rejected. I am sure that most of you did not mean any harm by this....but sometimes (especially when you are a type A personality as I) we have to be careful when we open our mouths. As we don't have allot of censors...and we don't realize how things come out or how it might make some else feel.

As far as the person who got the infraction. It is embarrassing....I totally get it. Geez I have one!! In fact I just emailed regarding when it would come off because I didn't want to be labeled a trouble maker. It was nice to hear sometimes the Mods got them too. Bottom line we all make mistakes but it is what we learn from those. Don't call ppl names though...they are just doing their jobs and following the rules of the site. They have to treat everyone equally. (that is a quote that I totally agree with)

To the OP...I hope that you come back. Give us a second chance...I have to say I have been on a few site and this has to be the best and I feel like I have made some friends that I cannot wait to meet. Even the ones I don't agree with.

OK...there is my touchy feely book for the night. Can I get a group hug now. :8:

Hey Walt,

Sorry for hammering on you in my earlier post. I don't post on forums much at all these days, so I'm new to the infraction system and was more than a little taken back to find that I had such a serious sounding infraction sitting next to my name...which I quickly figured out was only viewable to me, and that they expire (had no idea). :oops:

I still think I should have gotten an unofficial warning since this is my first rodeo, but I definitely overreacted (thinking I had a scarlet letter for life), and for that I'm sorry. Should have done my homework first!

-Anthony
