Indeed it's a problem, but it's a popular problem. We do encourage good grammatical and spelling skills, but we can’t force people to do it.

Why not? This is Bungie's forum, it's not a democracy.

Poor saps.

i totally agree with you. if you speak english on these forums, a lot of people might think you as a person have an IQ above 50 (doubtfully though)

Some would argue that a post is as much the spoken word as the chat room message. I guess that part is up to the forum monarch. At GameFAQs, I would simply report messages with extremely bad spelling and grammar as disruptive posting and/or trolling. I don't see why we can't have a coherence rule here.

The correct quoting is..
"Dear humanity, we regret being alien bastards, we regret coming to Earth, and we most definitely regret that the corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"

You should. I'd ban anyone that said stuff like that...but I guess that's why I'll never be a mod...
