Isn't about time MNHQ started deleting posts that attack people's spelling and grammar?

(In advance I will say any of my posts are likely to have spelling and grammar mistakes)

It's such a shitty thing to do and often it is directed at poster who then feel they have to explain themselves and disclose they have dyslexia. I don't understand why MN tolerate people with potential disabilities being mocked in this way?

Why can it not be regarded as a personal attack and such comments deleted. Very often the arses that post comments about another posters spelling bring nothing else to the thread and usually it derails the thread and the OP's original issue gets lost in the ensuing bunfight.

I can't say I've ever seen a post being deleted for being irrelevant or derailing, unless the person responsible has actually requested it because they posted on the wrong thread. Does it happen in fact?

See I can get on boards with goady posters having there posts coloured shit brown.

There are techy sites that do this all the time and I used to go on some UK forums (can't remember which ones) that'd do it very rigorously, sometimes too rigorously!

But it does mean that if you go on a thread looking for an answer to the problem in the title, you don't have to slog through pages of idiots trying to be funny before you find the help you're looking for.

The other option would be a "Hide Poster" option as it's invariably the same twats that do it - but MNHQ don't like the thought of us missing out on some of the joys these people can share with us Confused

Yup that's the one sally hope it didn't take you too long to decipher my post though I can see how that one would really flummox the reader. Phew thank goodness the day was saved Smile Flowers

Yes, emphatically yes, ccfm.

It's just attention-seeking behaviour from some who are lacking something.
