- Personal attacks on other community members are unacceptable, practice the good manners your mama taught you when engaging with fellow Dawg fans
- Use common sense and respect personal differences in the community: sexual and other inappropriate language or imagery, political rants and belittling the opinions of others will get your posts deleted and result in warnings and/ or banning from the forum
- 3/17/19 UPDATE -- We've updated the permissions for our "Football" and "Commit to the G" recruiting message boards. We aim to be the best free board out there and that has not changed. We do now ask that all of you good people register as a member of our forum in order to see the sugar that is falling from our skies, so to speak.

I love Dawgnation - read it every day. BUTTTTTT....can y'all please get someone competent to proofread your articles before posting? The content is always excellent, but it is sometimes hard to stay with the flow of the narrative with so many missing and/or incorrect words! Y'all are better than this.

Gotta love those first posts
If he only knew....🤣
I decided to cut him a break.
Foot bro.... it happens.
I just figure it's b/c they're putting the Dawgs content out first, sometimes they might be in a rush and mistakes happen. It's usually nothing major and it's pretty easy to connect the dots to figure out what they're saying..

This is no excuse. Grammarly accounts are fairly inexpensive and would solve the problem.
Its embarrassingly bad.
I almost wondered if I was the only one to notice.
Just posting his thoughts.. nothing wrong with that.
I ave fought bout it myshelf a few trimes
^^^^^ If only it were that simple. The mistakes that are made on a regular basis are far more egregious than the common errors everyone makes. Anyone just reading it over a second time could spot most of them. Grammarly could do it as well. For about 20 bucks.

You misspelled "but."
Not just a grammar Nazi, but the grammar Fuhrer. I take it poor punctuation makes him Fuhrious.
I just think it detracts from the excellent content.
You guys aren't wrong. With the cuts we had last year, we no longer have any full time copy editors. I know I stink at proofreading and I'm not trying to make any mistakes intentionally. A lot of time Good Day, UGA doesn't end up getting written till late at night. Last night BA and I ended up leaving Athens at 9 pm and I didn't get back to Atlanta till 10:15 p.m. I didn't finish writing good day, uga until after midnight and I was exhausted, so obviously there are going to be mistakes in good day, uga. And I hate it more than you guys do because I know it makes me and DawgNation look bad. To quote Pulp fiction, "I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying Ringo, I'm trying realllll hard to be the shepherd."
TL:DR: I know I need to get better at proofreading and you guys should hold me accountable.
I don't disagree, but whenever I see a first post that creates a thread with negative content it detracts from credibility.
Meh... since I'm a horrible speller and grammar (see!)
As long as I can easily understand the message being read, I'm lenient on most of those things.
