Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
All I'm saying is, the mods need to lighten up a little. If Rockbox is open to all, internet slang, incorrect grammar, and maybe some simpler (i.e. "newbie") questions need to be tolerated more rather than being shunned down upon by the mods.
OK, so why then, if you claim to be accessible to all,why are some who don't know English and maybe use some incorrent slang beacause it's all they know yelled at for violating the TOS when they are simply trying to get help when they don't know English well. In fact, why not set up different forums in other languages for more accessibility?
I think that if you look carefully, you will find that we are very tolerant of non-English speakers who make an effort to use proper English. What we do not tolerate, and never will as long as I have anything to say about the matter, is native English speakers who deliberately butcher the language.
Many users don't have time to write out a perfectly spelled right, grammatically correct post.
This is removing user friendliness.
Why is it SO NECESSARY that everyone be perfect in their English.
By closing the board to all but the "experienced" users, you have removed the possibility that an average user could easily make that one breakthrough needed.

What we do not tolerate, and never will as long as I have anything to say about the matter, is native English speakers who deliberately butcher the language. I would say, that is really very frustrating on many users parts. Many users don't have time to write out a perfectly spelled right, grammatically correct post. This is removing user friendliness. And, since when is Rockbox so formal. This is a place to ask for help and suggest ideas. Why is it SO NECESSARY that everyone be perfect in their English. This is probably one of the few forums I know of that enforces correct English so heavily, and it ends up drawing away users.
