The moderators aren't picky at all. Of course nobody is perfect, but they're not asking for perfection. They just want people to understand what the posts are saying. If a post is filled with typos, bad spelling, bad grammar, and no punctuations, everyone will go crazy just trying to read the post.

Not picky? I must be losing my touch! Seriously, though, I'm a lousy typist myself. I have to go back and revise things three or four times, usually. This is in part because of an injury that left me with only limited use of my right arm, and that's permanent. Good thing I'm left-handed.
It's not the occasional typo that's a problem here, it's when people don't care about making their words or thoughts coherent. Just what is the point of posting a comment that no one can understand?

I think that shemps#1 likes "policing" these boards more than I do, and he happens to be very good at it. He notices a lot of garbage that gets by me for one reason or another.

In any case, we'll all keep on doing our best to make sure that this remains a high-quality website. The Stooges and all their great co-stars don't deserve anything less.

Yeah, that's why I said that you and the other moderators aren't picky. If you are warning people or banning them because they make typos once in a while, then I would say you're picky. But, all you're are asking is for posts to be readable. And I agree with that because there's no point in posting anything if people aren't able to read what the person typed. That is why I don't understand why certain people make such a fuss about that policy.
And I agree with you about shemps#1. He is very good at policing the boards. And I'm not just saying that, I really mean it. And to be honest, I just realized it now because I saw the way he has been handling certain issues lately. He is hard on people, but that's the way it has to be if you want this site to remain a high-quality website. If you go to IMDB.com and check out those message boards, they are disgraceful. It's full of nothing but illegible posts and a lot of flaming and the moderators there don't do anything about it.
