So, as the title says. PMC. Kids. Ya.
As you know, Minecraft is extremely popular. so naturally, any website that is associated with it also gets popular. Since Minecraft was designed to be a game for all ages, naturally, kids start flooding into the websites that are associated with it. PMC has become one of those websites.
The problem is, we have too many of our members being COMPLETE jerks to some of the younger kids on this website. Not only are some of them criticizing them because of their age, they are outright cursing and swearing at the kids because the don't know something, or because they don't know how to type as well as other people.
I understand some members may get a bit annoyed by the constant miss-spellings, or the way they act, but you have to realize KIDS ARE KIDS. I'm not saying that all kids are like this. I'm pretty sure CreeperCarole had her kids read the rules, or at least she read them the rules. But if you see a kid spelling like this "wow dud god tht wuz so aweseom u rock" don't be a jerk to them. They are simply kids. Im sure that when you were little, you didn't know how to spell every single word correctly.
All in all, don't be a jerk to the younger members. If you correct them, they could probably care less. This is the internet. You'll constantly see them doing this. Now, if they post a topic, and you can hardly read what they are saying, you can easily ask them what they mean and to spell it our more carefully instead of saying "Gosh, why are little kids so stupid these days? They can't even spell. Come on, grow up!"
Things you can do
(1. Be the adult in the situation, I don't mean yell at the kids and criticize their spelling, I'm saying that if some of the words are spelled wrong, instead of pointing it out and being a grammar nazi, focus on the OP.
(2. If it becomes a problem, so that you can't read the post, then you can POLITELY tell them that you can not understand what they are typing, and if they could please clarify. It might take a while to answer what they are asking, but hey, you helped a kid out.
Hopefully this can bring a bit of awareness to people that constantly bully other kids about "proper grammar"
While it might be annoying To See Every Word Capitalized, you can still read it, so what difference does it make?
