I think people should be able to use periods when needed and proper capitalization(sp?). I dont think proper spelling should be cracked down on as long as you can understand what they are implying. I also dont think proper use of commas and semi-colons should be required. If a person can break up a sentence with a comma or period I think that is sufficient.

I do however feel that people shouldnt be warned over and over again for lack of "shift key use" or long drawn out sentences. As annoying as it is to read their posts it is just as annoying to read an administrators post to tell them to change their ways.

I agree with Chris too. The standard one line posts on a thread that is a week old should be regulated. Regardless if they are trying to pad their post count or just make conversation it is annoying.

DSMstyle is pretty much the only board that I frequent that isn't filled with post whores and people that are just bored. It is a group of enthusiasts/friends that share a common interest. Even though many of the senior members dont have a DSM anymore they are still willing to help with the questions that the new guys have and still willing to have a good time doing it.
