Watch the caps, please. It really is unreadable in its current form.

<font color=yellow>oH MY gOD. Entirely in caps, no paragraphs, no html. Does this kid actually expect someone to read this piece of garbage?

It would take me a year to rea this trash cuz my eyes would get sore every couple of lines.

Well, not exactly a _bad_ post, I might give 5 or 6, but all caps and no formatting halve that...

(What depresses me is I managed to read that with only minor eye strain)

Tsk Tsk ....look at what you done to poor SqueakyMonkey.
Get rid off the caps next time. Oftentimes, nobody will read your BR if your format is poor. I do a lot of charts and tables for my company, and I know it's imperative that your presentation or your BR in this case must be easy to read if you want to catch their attention.

I did not read this report at all.

HSAHHAHAHAHHA, bob is funny.. =]

well, does everyone with the word "probe" in their name have something against the world or something???

hmmm... oh well

humor is good, but all caps are not humor..

it sucks, yer style sucks, yer game sucks, your plays sucks, your descriptions suck, your humor sucks, your br sucks, your grammar sucks, your spelling sucks, and you suck..

bob should have given a 3... bleh

byeya

p.s-actually, if this got a 2, people would read why a br got such a bad rating. 4 is actually a cool score that no body reads. =]

<P ALIGN=center>This report sux
All caps are very annoying
The writing had no detail
It flowed like a river of tar
It was just barely decipherable
There were no pictures
There was no html
If it was supposed to be funny it wasn't
If is wasn't supposed to be funny it still wasn't good
Try harder next time

<P ALIGN=left>p.s.when commenting try to give advice or else you may find yourself looking at more of the same.

stop giving probes a bad name you fucking cock sucker.
If you actually expected somebody to read that piece of bullshit, then you deserve to be hunted down, skinned, and barbequed, then fed to the dogs, and after they finish, to have the dogs immediatly shot, throw the dogs in a dumpster,then watch the next morning as the trash truck picks up YOUR remains inside the DOGS' remains, have them smashed to an even bloodier pulp inside the wreteched gears of the truck, and then finally have you become one with the earth, where a bird flies overhead and takes a shit on you.

Die, scum!

When the report had loaded, and i saw the capitals, i immediately decided: Rating: 1.
No matter how good it is, i dont even read anything with only capitol letters. I didn't read a word, cuz i knew it sucked.
#20 Dr.Zchivago[50372]

Um, I couldn't read it due to the fact it was like everyone else has said....All caps and no paragraphs.

It might have been decent writing, but I can't strain my beady Dr eyes to even give it a chance.

Go back and resubmit it with some sort of legible format.
=(

sorry guys i just didnt know how to change the font... I am new at this. I tried to copy and paste but that didnt work. Tell me how to get the font and color because i dont really know how. sorry.
#23 Limp_Bizkit666[50397]
whv-ca3c-31.rasserver.net
FIRST, don't worry about the font.. worry about CAP LOCKS!!!

IF SOMETHING IS CAP-LOCKED, IT JUST LOOK BAD. ALSO, BECAUSE THEY ARE ADDED TO YOUR PRETTY HAD GRAMMAR, IT GIVES THE READER THE HEADACHE. I HAPPENED TO FINISH YOUR BR DESPITE THE FACT, AND NOW I CAN'T SLEEP. SO, WORRY ABOUT CAPLOCK FIRST..

now, for color, use html..

&ltfont color="whatever color you want">

then type stuff here, and end it with
</font>

that is it...

p.s-html rules.. and don't forget to use PARAGRAPHS...

WHy the F#$% do people keep opening their reports with:-

"This is my first battle report ever… forgive me if this is bad "

FFS, dont write the damn thing if you think its crap. There are over 2000 reports to compare your self to.

Secondly, PICTURES. I want pretty pictures...1 page of text and 4 pages of pics is 10000000 times better than 5 pages of text. Easier to read. Download time may be slower but you make up for it during read time.

Should be compulsory.

There. I said it. :P

What the author was wanting, Futch, was some positive feedback without all the BS every1 has been giving him. That's probably why he posted it. Yes, of course many ppl do better on their first try, but give him some credit. Most of what needs to be covered (I think, but wtf do I kno =/) has been covered. Write, but next time, look at gold reports and see why they got golds, and you'll probably do better. The guides for reporting wouldn't hurt either =/.
