Since Tuthmosis didn't reply to my PM, I'd like to ask if some of you could help me with the following. I've received a warning for 'textspeak' but I truly can't discover what I'm supposed to do different.

Can anyone please tell me? I want to follow the rules but I can't when I don't know what rules I'm breaking..
EDIT: Guess I found it. Should not be using @ to replace 'at'.
You used the "at" symbol three times in your post. The "at" symbol (@) is not a word, and it shouldn't be used in normal prose unless the situation calls for it.
One other word of advice for you. You're skirting into dangerous territory with your post here (above) when you publicly complain that "Tuthmosis didn't reply to my PM."
That sort of thing is not done here.

Thank you for the heads up. I'm not doint it to talk sh*t about him or anything. I can image he's got something better too do then reply every lame PM about a warning. That is all.
So if I offended or wronged anyone with this, I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention,
If you're serious about being a valuable contributing member of this forum, take a look at the bolded portions of your post, as quoted above.
Your intentions may be good, but your on-going punctuation and spelling errors send a different message.
Also, writing shit as "sh*t" has been frowned up here as well. Either use the word or don't. I don't like it personally, so I don't use it. I do throw out a "fuck" once a while when it's appropriate to what I am attempting to communicating.
It would be wise to patch things up with Tuth. He works hard to keep this forum from descending into chaos and we all benefit from his commitment. It's best if you communicate in whatever way comes naturally to you, that you appreciate his hard work and there are no hard feelings about the warning you received.
Since it's hard to communicate tone when writing on the Internet, it's usually best to go above and beyond to not write anything that might come across as sarcastic or catty. Unfortunately, we've had a few members here who were very pleasant guys in person, but their in-person personality didn't translate well when it came to the Internet. Don't be that guy. Just go above and beyond to demonstrate goodwill whenever possible.
Otherwise, I'm sure we are all looking forward to your positive contributions to the RVF. Best of luck.
