My 0.5 in 60 days challenge

Now you’re just being cheeky. :)

I will get in on this too (if that’s okay) However I am trying to just get .25”

Lets root each other on?

Hi guys, first post here. Don’t mean to be off topic but I think I read you have to have 15 posts before you can start a thread. So here goes, is it normal to be a little achy after the first few days?

Yeah dude that’s why I want to do it will help us stay motivated. Try for .5 and see what you get!

First few days of any new physical activity will probably leave you a tad sore in places.

You are now in time out for 7 days. You might want to go read those guidelines again MisterWhiskers. They will keep your butt out of trouble.

Why is he on a time out? Moderators are getting a little ban happy on here.Excuse me if my foot is in my mouth I just do not want to go through the pages and see, I apologize in advance.

Mister Whiskers:

One very reason we have Forum Guidelines is exactly because English is not the first language of everyone here. We want the posts to be as readable as possible to as many as possible. If your native tongue is not English, you should be more aware than most of the greater difficulty involved if you are not using standard English.

For example, if someone does not speak English well and you have typed “ill” (as you did, several times) instead of “I’ll”, it makes the sentence more difficult to understand.

In addition, you are taking offense where none is meant. There may have been the assumption that your native tongue was English because your posts sound like someone who knows English but is careless in using it.

Congratulations on your first post, lightening1!

So you’ll know in the future, from /faq.html#faq_t … _here_newforum:

“New Members can reply to any thread, in any forum, but can only start new threads in the Newbie Forum. Once 30 posts have been made, and after 14 days from registration, new threads can be started in all the forums (except the Main Member Forum, which requires Senior Member (300 posts) status) and an avatar can be uploaded. So:

• 1 - 30 posts or less than 14 days membership: You can start a thread only in the Newbie Forum.
• 31 - 300 posts or less than 28 days membership: You can start a thread in the Newbie Forum and everywhere else except for the Main Member Forum.
• 300+ posts and greater than 28 days membership: You become a Senior Member, and can start a thread anywhere including the Main Member Forum.”

I think looking at his posts in this thread would clarify the point, ironaddict69, but if you can’t be bothered to look, I’m not going to spoonfeed you the links to the particular offending posts. This makes the 25th post in this thread. That’s hardly an insurmountable number of posts to scan if you really want to know.

And with over 110,000 members here, I think the ban rate is pretty low.

Well OK, but you can all sing and use the longbow, right?

Oh please use the light-up Indiana Jones (c) spoon out of the fruit loops boxes, I LOVE those. I asked because I did not see anything wrong, but it was late last night.

I would love to see the amount of people who actually post out of the 110,000. I thought a lot of them did but after clicking many users names to see what threads they have started, it is surprisingly low to me.

I can always add another notch if you want me too ironaddict? Just say the word.

There is no one born in Wales recently that doesn’t speak perfect English. Why would you be offended someone from another country assumed someone from the UK spoke English? Most people in England probably think the Welsh speak English, and I’ve never met a Welsh person that couldn’t speak English - although there are probably some old people that don’t or maybe others that didn’t go to school much.

From wiki “English is spoken by almost all people in Wales and is therefore the de facto main language (see Welsh English). However, northern and western Wales retain many areas where Welsh is spoken as a first language by the majority of the population and English is learnt as a second language. 21.7% of the Welsh population is able to speak or read Welsh to some degree (based on the 2001 census), although only 16% claim to be able to speak, read and write it, which may be related to the stark differences between colloquial and literary Welsh. According to a language survey conducted in 2004, a larger proportion than 21.7% claim to have some knowledge of the language.[58]Today there are very few truly monoglot Welsh speakers, other than small children, but individuals still exist who may be considered less than fluent in English and rarely speak it”

Stop being a smart arse and when your freeze comes off maybe you won’t get banned.
