robbalvey Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Please welcome EBL (Eric) and Erik Johnson (Um...Erik) as our newest TPR ASSistants. They will be helping keep the board in check and make sure everyone uses proper spelling and grammar (especially EBL!) Welcome guys! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 This is great news! This means that the forums are growing which is a good thing! Keeping the boards clean of spam and grammar errors is also a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I'm just happy the term "ASSisstants" came back I think y'all picked some good folks, ones who won't abuse their power which is cool by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebl Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I'm not sure if the school system is failing us, some of us are just lazy, or it's a combination of both. But whatever it is, there's just no excuse for not being able to spell and punctuate basic words and sentences. The message boards on websites are discussion forums, not instant messaging. For that reason alone, it pays to write properly so that others can understand you. Every time someone has to "decipher" what you've written, you won't be taken seriously. Contrary to popular belief, it is not cool to write in all lower case, omit punctuation, WrItE LiKe tHiS, or such. If you need a "cool style," make it in the content of your post, not the appearance.

cfc Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 ^Amen, brother! I'm a copy editor by trade, and I've noticed that the TPR boards are remarkably celan, er, clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh! Double dipping. I'm gonna tell. Congrats. You guys deserve it. I couldn't think of two more deserving individuals. I personally believe with my heart and soul that TPR will be a better place because of your fair and just guidance. I would just like to state for the record that I would rather be with the greatest individuals on the planet, than to spend time under the watchful eyes of E2. We're doomed I tell ya! Doomed!

But whatever it is, there's just no excuse for not being able to spell and punctuate basic words and sentences you gotta go easy on me for the next couple of weeks, I broke my arm and its veryy diffucilt to spell. I've made about a bazillion mistakes already (most of which have been corrected) but if Ican get some tolerance from you for the nextcouple ofw weeks everything should be fine.

the sound Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I thought Erik was already an ass-istant. Congrats to both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Fannnnnntastic. This is great. You guys are definitely worthy of being "Assistants". The boards are in good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunder001 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Now that EBL is an ASSistant, I guess I will have to lay off the beer while posting on the boards... Good luck to both of you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hattuchili Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Congrats Erik and Erik! I am sure you´ll do a good job here! I am also sure there will not be so much things you have to do here! These are the friendliest boards I have ever seen! I am a moderator on a German Forum and it really sucks there! There are a few members who are attacking me all the time and told me I am a dictator! I think that will never happen here! --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules are enforced generally not by mods but by everyone which helps to keep spelling and Grammar in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I think all the Ass-istants should now have exclusive rights to use the phrase "Haul Ass!" and all other variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
