What's wrong with wiggin being an adult? There are plenty of adults who like Harry Potter. The rules stay in place. Christina, KC's sig is fine right now. The issue has aleady been dealt with and that is the compromise. Netspeak is against the rules for a few reasons. It's harder to read. I don't mind it when you're IMing someone, because then you're saving time. But when you're posting, use proper spelling. It doesn't kill you to type an extra 3 letters. It's an immature way to type. Why type "ya" instead of "yeah"? It's an extra 2 letters. It makes you look like you don't know how to spell. The last reason is that it's just really annoying. Last but not least. Christina, calling things/people "gay" is a severe form of prejudice. They deserve the same respect you give everyone else. I don't ever want to see that on this baord again.

And you know what? im sure i am not the only person doing this stuff so you can stop saying my name only. It doesn't matter that you said you were kidding. It's still accociating "gay" with "bad". Something that seriously needs to be changed. So far, you are the only one on this site to have violated this rule. That's why I said your name specifically. Please hang with us a little longer people. I'm talking with Jess right now about revising the rules. EDIT: The netspeak rule has been modified. Hopefully this will be more acceptable.

First of all, I did not direct the netspeak comment at Christina specifically. That was the comment she made about gays.
Second, if you'd care to notice, the netspeak rule has been changed. Please read other posts before blowing your stack.
I don't care if you don't mind slurs against gays, the proprieters of the site do not. Therefore, they're kept off this site.

THANK YOU KC!!!!!!!!!! he is right. everybody says that wen there talking about whatever they just automatically say thats gay but we're not meaning it in a bad way against gay people. now i said i was joking so you can stop saying i was being prejudice or whatever. and besides, if i was prejudice against gay people then why in the hell would i have a gay friend? ok then enough with accusing people of being prejudice when they said they were kidding about it 100 times.

Look. Everyone understands that it's a joke. The point is, "everybody does it", which is something that does need to change, because many people mean it in a bad way, and if you all say it and someone like that comes along, they will think you mean it badly. Also, some gay people might think the same thing. I'm not saying you have to stop, it's fine if you want to post it, but your post probably will be modified. Just a warning.

ya, everyone...but Delphiki understands it was a joke but ok, im not trying to start another arguement, im just sayin. He does understand that it's a joke. He just thinks it's an offensive joke. (correct me if I'm wrong, Delphiki.) So please don't jump to conclusions and get the facts first. This kind of thing is just sparks in a vaccuum cleaner. One little spark can start a fire, and the next thing you know, everyone's enveloped in flames.
