Stop the phone posts
 
Or at least try.
I hated English class all through school. This before that, ie instead of y, etc, etc ... but damn! These phone posts are driving me crazy. No capitals at the start of sentences or a period at the end and not to mention the non-use of paragraphs.
It's one thing if you have a 1 or 2 line response but on a topic I was interested in there were posts after posts of just super long run on sentences to the point I have no clue WTF they are talking about. To be honest I've just about stopped reading them altogether on any thread. If you want folks to read what you are saying put a tiny bit of effort into your posts for those of us that don't live through our iphones.

I agree. This forum isn't as bad as others, but it can definitely be better. There lots of people that look through the archives to find info and it really helps if that info is coherent.

While we're at it, what's with all the useless thread titles? It makes it impossible for things to be found in a search. Not a big deal until some of the more enlightened members rattle off some very valuable info in thread titled 'motor problem', then all that info is piled in with a bazillion other threads.

A forum is like a living encyclopedia, so to help the future members let's try to keep things orderly and coherent. Pretty please?

Stop the whining. I post on a phone exclusively. I'm too busy to just sit around a computer. I do everything with my phone. So get over it!!

Not all of us have the time to sit at a computer. I have to multi task everything, so I usually am on my tablet or phone while doing 4 other things. Only time I can use a computer is at work.

Even the OP paragraph and sentence structure was not proper.

Phone posts are a given in today's environment. However I do like Cole2534's suggestion of more specific thread titles for searching purposes.

Cole2534 09-28-2013 12:22 PM

It's not that you're posting from a phone that he's complaining about, it's the lack of grammar. Punctuation is important, and he's asking you to use it.
