Polite Paradise

Well, since we're going there... I do agree that if someone has such horrible spelling/grammar that it's almost impossible to read their posts, it would be fine to let them know this, either in a thread or by PM. If something is really that incomprehensible it almost seems like spam rather than a meaningful contribution. But do you (general) really think that clicking "bad spelling" is what will get the person to change their ways? I seriously doubt it. That's why I think that option is so pointless. Anyone whose spelling/grammar is poor enough that it would be "okay" to mark them as "bad spelling" in earnest, is not going to be able to fix the issue themselves or maybe even recognize that it's a problem from that mark alone. They'll need a fuller explanation and encouragement.

Anyway, I really doubt that's going to be an issue here, at least I don't remember it being so on any of the previous forums. Something like TVTropes, a wiki where anyone can contribute, gets a lot of people suspended for spelling/grammar issues--it looks unprofessional on the pages, so other people have to go around cleaning up after them, so that site is pretty strict.
