Why is that? I don't talk with words like "u" "y" and other verbal expressions such as those so why are you acknowledging the fact that "My English skills aren't good."? I think I type just fine and I take my time.

Even if it were not for errors such as the earlier missing comma, your wording is simply clumsy and unappealing.

Which is your opinion.
How exactly can someone's "wording" be clumsy? Are you trying to say I am horrible at the English language and in simpler terms "I suck at English"?

Don't worry, there are others on the reporter team that are horribly worse.

Thanks.
Pith, what do you mean?

Sure some reporters might make some silly spelling mistakes or forget a comma here or a period there, but thats on the boards if they made the team its obviously because they did a good job with what they wrote about and the wording they used was good. Some people might tend to "slack off" you could say when writting on the forums, im sure you won't find a spelling mistake in the articles they wrote though.

Why would Mr. Bear or Unixmad hire someone who isn't good at spelling when they want the reporter thing to work out?
....its cause they did hire people who can spell well and make an interesting enough article to get picked.

My article was already published on the main site. The one that describes shield crafting and it includes a picture. Stefan provided the article on it (I provided the marvelous picture).

Yes, exactly. When I am typing up a report I make sure I type accurately and without any mistakes aswell. That is also why when we have reports we post them in our private forums so that others may view it and make corrections as we go. So far the team has just been started, it will get better as time passes.

You simply cannot eloquently construct sentences.

I didn't fault spelling, though I certainly could, given that Mr Bear doesn't spell-check reports before he puts them online. What I faulted was a general ability to use English in an efficient and effective way. And as I already explained, Unixmad and Mr Bear aren't the best judges for something like this, and could realistically let someone through without them being skilled writers.

I actually posted a thread in the relevent hidden forum about this, detailing a superior way for the system to be organised. Mr Bear later deleted it in a mass misuse of his moderator powers. My personal opinion? I don't think that idiot should be put in charge of anything more important than opening a can of beans.

Oh, well trust me, if you've seen some of the posts from people that represent Graal when it comes to news, you'd be very dissapointed to and embarrased for Graal too.

I suppose Unixmad and Bear were hiring on the basis of first come first serve, and that if someone has the slightest clue what you're talking about then you're hired. I seriously do hope this is not a business tactic they emply in other areas. Graal needs the few intelligent people we have to post news, not some ordinary Joe who knows how to replace proper words with "u" and "r" and "ur" etc.
