First, it's "you're" and not "your." Second, "Southern California" should not be hyphenated. And third, as you obviously hadn't noticed, we're using written/typed communication on these forums, and not spoken communication. Therefore, it should be obvious to anyone with a functional brain cell that I was referring to written/typed communication.DynamicPerformance wrote:Man, jbone, your vicious.
if you can't understand ray, your gonna have ALOT of problems with people out in the real world. Very few people speak good english. Especially in Southern-California.
That said, it's clear that the issues people have with your rules are communication flaws on your end. It is your contest, and therefore it is your responsibility to ensure your rules are clear, succinct, and rational. If anyone has issue with the way your rules are written - especially if those people have run contests themselves, or have been involved in contests - then you have railed in your responsibility as a contest coordinator, because it is obvious your communiation attempt was a failure.
A contest coordinator needs the maturity and the intellect to listen and to understand criticism. So far, I have seen only two things: poorly-developed excuses clearly based upon lack of information, and poorly-worded responses that sound more like they were ripped from a middle-school playground.
So you're in college. So you're a volunteer. Well, big fucking whoop. I volunteered for a Hell of a lot of stuff while I was in college, and you can rest assured that I used proper grammar and diction in all me electronic communication.
Also, your professors clearly don't understand the physical limitations of networking, and they are inundating their and their students' mail servers with incredible amounts of extraneous information. Just because your professors do something doesn't mean it's right, and it doesn't mean others in the real world will be willing to conform to something ridiculous.
