Great Job

Really harsh replies here. English clearly isn't his first language and we all understood what he was saying. He was trying to find out what other peoples ideas were but instead he just got slagged off for his spelling and received sarcastic replies like this:

Who made you the official thread length monitor? Does that position come with a uniform? If you don't want this thread to become 10 pages long why don't you help by not posting in it?

Jesus. Someone makes a genuine post, wondering what possible new special infected there are going to be and he just gets shot down and made to abandon his thread. If you've nothing to add to the thread, no idea to proffer, why don't you just not post? Or are your lives so inadequate that you have to make youself feel better by proving that you're the 'big man on the internet' with your sarcastic comments and superior spelling.

Dude its understandable if his first language isn't english but thats what translators and spell checkers are for. Not purposely trying to piss people off but in a forum the only way to communicate is via the written word. if you can't write the written word then communication becomes really difficult. I purposely am just sick of seeing hundreds of threads about 'new infected' There's loads of them why can't people go post in them instead of creating a completely different thread. Not just this time but it happens all the time.

Granted but that wasn't my point - i'm talking about common courtesy and not being a complete arsehole. There are loads of duplicated threads but that doesn't mean people have to respond in the shitty way that some of them do. Manners are free. Besides i haven't read anyone say "this has been asked elsewhere - here's a link". No, just 'clever' comments by people who think they're Bertie Big Bollocks'. It's just unnecessary - that's my point.

Mate - your post was hilarious. Nothing wrong with posting something like that - if nothing else it would make the OP smile instead of him deciding that everyone here is a wanker and he should just not bother (as is currently the case).

Yes I'm an ass, but I only said this cause it's true, there's loads of topics about new SI, but this will just get another 10 or so pages about random stuff like the duck one Voodoo added.
Also why should I not post my opinion when your just spamming by double posting.

How dare people try to talk about an already discussed topic on a discussion forum!!

DEATH TO ANT-TANK!

Nova, chill out - I'm suppose to be the resident asshole who takes things too seriously. Sheesh.

i think ant-tank is either really young or really "special".

I say this thread is going nowhere positive.

First things first, I was aware full well that English may not be his first language when I asked him to consider a spellchecker, and I'm mildly annoyed that some people had enough time on their hands to actually look to pick a fight out of this one. The request to consider a spellchecker was simply because I was having trouble understanding what he meant in places.

I don't speak any languages to any real level other than English. I know some scratchy German, but not much. If I were to post on a German language forum, I would at least ensure my spelling was correct, as that is something I can check using spellcheckers etc - grammar/syntax is something entirely different, and I would never pull anyone up on that, as it's something you either know or you don't.

Anyway, the bottom line is this: through bitching and arguing over this, you've managed to make a far bigger deal out of this than it really needed to be. Congrats.
