I agree that the rules are the rules and Dariu should have paid more attention to spelling, but I was shocked by how vicious the moderators seemed to be in their comments about it....And it wouldn't hurt to be nice.

I was obviously firm in my own statements to Dariu. But vicious? And I did say "Thanks" at the end of my request as well.

The first part I would call vicious yes, or maybe harsh is a better word for it? Thanks at the end helps a little. But really it sounded like you were a teacher telling off a naughty kid. I'd rather we give each other the benefit of the doubt and treat each other like adults.

I've got my style. All the other mods/Admins have their style. I really don't feel the need to defend myself here, so let's not pursue this anymore, okay? But, your concerns are appreciated and I respect them very much, pallyndrome. Thanks.

Hmm, I think we all are a little quick here.
I'm not the moderator of moderators, but my personal advice to you, Dariu, would be not to take it personally, even if it could be hard. We don't mean to hold an iron grip over this place. Just make an attempt to the best of your capacity to hold a grammatically correct language and you're OK in my book. A slip-up doesn't kill anyone, but to be told to when that happens doesn't either. Then it's all about trying to think about it in the future. :)

What I'm also going after here is that we're seriously off-topic here. :o I know I'm speaking to administrators here as well, but maybe we should continue on talking about protecting our homes with intricate traps instead.

But seriously I don't see the point why "u" and "ur" is so important to fix, I mean to be honest its such an international thing that practically everyone knows, heck, in many games even brazillians that don't know english can still use 'money plz" and "u help me plz" ... Soo yeah, but I mean the "u" and "ur" is something that shouldn't be that serious of an offence, I mean sexual comments and such is much more of an issue in forums rather than "chat talk"... And I mean, even I myself were not born in australia, I moved and learned english from scratch and I took the effort to learn it...

Your points are well taken. However, we have our rules and we're asking all players to do their best to follow them. You can continue the grammar discussion here. But, let's get back to the thread topic.

Well I agree,

Well as many of you wonder how to get through without the hassle, make a back enterance with the door locked for only you and your family to be able to go through, also make it be completely filled with alarms and sprinklers just in case.

I wonder what you mean about the sprinklers Dariu; simbots can move through that area they water, it's just that they can't play in the sprinkler.

That's quite far-fetched Dariu; if Simbots were taking over the world, they wouldn't stop to simply play with some sprinklers...

They would if they had the Loves the Outdoors trait! Sprinklers are like catnip. ;)

I just thought of something: a pool. A human can without problem swim through maybe a tile of a pool, but a simbot will immediately get a short out! ;D

In essence, make a moot around the home to protect it from Simbots.  I like it.  :)
