Here let me help:

red devil 2 "If we do have this contest cant he moderators be the judges because i know they know a lot."

With punctuation:

"Since I know they are knowledgeable, if we do have this contest, can the moderators be judges?"

Now, I can finally read a sentence.

Cooltuna, how can you play? Your punctuation is so bad too. You guys don't sound like you have a lot of education because your English is bad, so what do you know about fish?

Okay guys and girls, it's time to step back and think a bit. We have people here who are very knowledgeable about fish and some who are just learning. They came here to learn about fish, not grammer. We also have some very young members, so be patient. Remember that a little encouragement goes a long way. There is a difference between CRITIQUE and CRITICISM. If you can't read a post then don't respond. There's no need to be derogatory.
With regard to a knowledge contest with moderators judging: As Hooben stated in another post it takes us about 2 1/2 hours just to get through reading all the daily posts. I think that the easiest solution is to just have a vote by the members as to who they think is the most knowledgeable. There should be enough evidence of this.
Of course, moderators will have to be excluded, since we know everything. LOL.
Everyone have a good day, and try to be patient.

NTC,

The punctuation bothers me as well sometimes, but we have to remember this is an internet message board. Besides, if you want to get picky "Your punctuation is so bad too. You guys don't sound like you have a lot of education because your English is bad, so what do you know about fish?" should be "Your punctuation is so bad, too. You guys don't sound like you have a lot of education because your English is poor, so what could you know about fish?"
For those of you who do (or should) know better, I think it's a valid point though. I taught English in Korea and Taiwan for a year and many of my students picked up atrocious habits from corresponding with English speakers over the internet. A particular pet peeve was run-on sentences and starting sentences with and, so and but.
I know my grammar isn't perfect in these posts, since I generally type as fast as I can, so I generally can't criticize others. (Not to mention differences in Canadian and American spelling, British terminology etc.)

could I make a suggestion?....

Perhaps maybe people are not volunteering to play the game because they are afraid of the hostility surfacing already....and the game has not yet begun.

Red Devil and Newton the Cat..I wonder what a compromise would be....

I just might join the game if I knew you both were at least 'trying' to work through your differences (not that I have a chance of winning...lol - but I would sure try my best...lol)

It is not the knowledge I am concerned about. No one is going to get attacked because they don't know an answer. It is the fact of whether or not the posts are readable.

Newton the cat you have to remember that there are probably very young people out there that are probably not as educated as some of us so you can't really rip them for not using punctuation.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to pass on judging. I've been busy lately and really don't have the time for it.

There really is no point in a contest as anybody who regularlly uses this site knows who has the superiour knowledge and they ent interested in entering this contest.

This thread has 39 posts and is not progressing. The reason for the lack of progress is that most likely people are afraid of facing ridicule from their answers. It is for these reasons this thread is being closed. If you wish you may open a new thread on the subject but it needs to make some progress.

Cheers
