The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
You know, it really annoys me when someone tries to make a valid point, and all they get is "SPAG" "SPAG" "SPAG".
Just because someone may not be able to spell well, doesn't mean that their opinion is not a valid one.
It is rather childish to jump on them all of the time for small grammatical errors, this is not school, it's a discussion forum. To me good discussion has always been about what you have to say (or post) not about whether every word is spelt correctly.
Obviously if a post is properly layed out it makes it easier to read, but the points contained within do not become any more valid.
Rather than campaigning against poor SPAG, why not campaign against banal and pointless posts?

Sorry MEka, you were asking for it, but I see your point and it is my personal policy only to SPAG people who I have seen SPAG others, except here, because you were asking for it!!

Your right, I probably do.
But still, it's irrelevant.
So what and when is this last exam of yours?

You mean 'laid out' surely?
