Fix'd. Now it's all text speak. If you're gonna' use incorrect spelling, at least do
that right.
@Sinque: If that aggravates you, then you're just stubbornly unwilling to change. The nicely put corrections aren't the problem in that case, you're way of thinking is.
Also, since you say that we are discouraging to new members, let me happily disprove you.
Here are the responses to the five newest members who made posts:
#5. AvengerZero
Here are the 3 posts that welcomed him:

The Kingmaker wrote:Indeed, welcome.
Looking forward to this, although there isn't enough for a review yet.
Ninja wrote:Hi! Welcome to the forums! Looks forward to reviewing your idea.
#4. Laufin
I won't quote all the posts that he was welcomed by; just check the responses to his first post to see how he welcomed to the forums.
#3. TheUnderGOAT
This example may have been the closest to discouraging, but even it wasn't. He was told in a polite manner that he should correct his post so that we could read it. And then BBB even gave him a huge comment on his idea, despite how hard it was to read due to the OP not being paragraphed.
Direct quotations from the aforementioned situation:

can read it without going blind from the pain, and the incorrect grammar disinclines me further. So please fix it.

BBB and I both greeted him kindly and politely.
#1. Sh4dows
His ideas were reviewed as best as possible, and he was greeted in a polite fashion.

It seems that we aren't so discouraging to new members as you think. You are obviously either A) not very observant, B) not very active, or C) just seeing what you want to see.
