Click For Summary
The discussion centers around the perceived decline in the quality of posts in the General Discussion (GD) forum, with participants expressing frustration over the prevalence of low-quality threads and senseless content. Users reflect on specific threads they find particularly lacking and share their thoughts on the behavior of certain members, particularly one named "yomamma," who has been criticized for creating wordless threads. Despite this, there are indications of improvement in his posting habits. The conversation also touches on the concept of "most improved member" awards, with some users debating whether such recognition should be given to those who have shown significant growth or to consistently good contributors. Grammar and language skills are also discussed, with humor about the deterioration of English among forum members. Overall, the thread highlights concerns about forum quality, user behavior, and the dynamics of improvement and recognition within the community.

How often did you post in politics?

Yomamma, Zero was the PF mentor in GD & politics before me. I replaced him when he got a life.

I don't think I ever did. I saw him publically say stuff to miscreants in GD threads, though.

Hmmm, I will have to go back and read some of your first posts, but I don't remember you being particularly bad.

I don't even remember my first post...

Would i be most improved by virtue of having disappeared and erasing the memories of my past crimes?

I got threatened for bullying Mr Robin Parsons, lol. That stupid homeless bum that saved the US taxpayers 40,000,000,000 dollars.

I can't even remember my first post, must have been something stupid though.

He was a Canadian, and his money argument was with the Prime Minister of Canada.

I saw Mr Robin Parsons just the other day (on line). I was researching something and a blurb in google was a post by MRP at a forum. He's alive and kicking.

GD has sunken to a new low
Yomamma's etiquette may have improved, but not his grammer :frown: (and don't tell me how to spell that last word). Has anyone here actually improved their language skills through posting in or reading PF ?

Yes yomamma, it's very ill. And the problem is that nobody helps you out. Here, let me start...

'Sunken' in an adjective. You can have 'a sunken treasure', for instance. It is not a verb. The correct verb to use is 'sunk', as in 'GD has sunk to a new low.'

That's your grammar lesson for the day. More of these, and you'll be a vastly improved poster ! :biggrin:

I was looking at some websites on education and a question was asked "Is less than a 4.0 GPA enough to get you into an Ivy League school?"

The answer - You do not need to have a perfect 4.0 to get into an Ivy League School. You are rated on may levels such is essay, SAT, ACT, geographical location, extracirricular activities, clubs, memberships, volunteer work, and other relevant experience. Also, keep in mind that many wealthy folks with less than a 4.0 GPA have been accepted to Ivy League schools as well. :bugeye: I guess this respondent was not one of them?
