Nothing to do with mods.
This is pretty much it -
If I want to read spelling errors and botched sentences galore, I can just go to the ign wanna-be site myself. I don't need to constantly see that in a syndication box for said site.
I never read the syndication box, but many many times when I scroll past it I see glaring mistakes. I have seen 20 plus spelling errors, and several botched sentences. I have held back on saying anything for so long, but now we have two IDENTICAL paragraphs PLUS a picture linked to the Scorpion King article/review.

If the syndication box is a MUST can the brief descriptions at least be proofread?

Perhaps while you are spell checking you can also look up irony.
And you think this is only a valuable less for us Behind The Scenes for what reason exactly???
What pray tell is ironic about that?

OK, now you are just toying with me, aren't ya? See: yellow.
Originally it was the fact that you forgot to proofread your original sentence. Hell you rewrote it and still missed it.
You missed the word "in" in "And you think this is only a valuable lesson for us BTS for what reason exactly???"
It should have been written as:
And you think this is only a valuable lesson for us in BTS for what reason exactly???

| No, I meant it as written. A valuable lesson for us behind the scenes. We are in behind the scenes, we are the only ones in behind the scenes and we are the only ones that can be in behind the scenes.
Therefore, stating in behind the scenes is a redundant qualifier.
If I were speaking to Alkey, I would say when he was in behind the scenes because he's only sometimes a moderator.
And yes, the lesson was intentional. :-p

| Redundant qualifier or not, I don't care how many times you read/say that sentence, something is wrong. As a whole, it just doesn't look/sound correct.
Just the acronym "...BTS..." is worse than "...Behind The Scenes..." Maybe we should just chalk it up to a botched sentence as a whole, eh?
Maybe if there was a redundant proofreader for the syndication box there wouldn't be mistakes in the box to qualify as a glaring eyesores...

THANK YOU
DRIVE THROUGH!
On a side note, "drunkne" has been corrected.
However, The Scorpion King REDUNDANCY remains. Somebody must be really proud of that article to link it 3 times like that. :rolleyes:

Because, I honestly don't make an effort to look in the box.
I am sure that pretty soon the box will scroll a full page of material.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the OTL.com Homepage was syndicated pretty soon.

| Not to be a dick, but can we limit the amount of things in the OTL box? When you click on lets say GD and use the scroll wheel on the mouse you have to scroll twice even before OA.com moves. Can we fix this?

Yeah - don't hover your mouse over the OTL box when you scroll.
But I do agree that the OTL box shouldn't scroll. From an OA standpoint, it's annoying, and from an OTL point of view, all the stuff for people to see should be RIGHT THERE to see, not to scroll through.

I thought the same thing Joey. I have to put my cursor off to the side of that box in order to scroll the actual OA.com page.
Don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. |
