The thing is, you are changing the part of speech. it is initially a noun, you are making it an adjective. You WOULD say, "There is a Moderator here." because it is a proper noun. And yes, you can capitalize President because that is also a proper adjective.

Explain why we are having a grammar lesson here? You guys are getting off topic. Really off topic. Anyways, I saw a typo but then I returned and it was fixed! Too bad.

No periods on some of them. Example:

Periods aren't necessary. Although punctuation is good, if the thing you are saying is not a sentence, it doesn't have to have punctuation.
Anyway, how is talking about grammar off topic? It's completely ON topic.
And what was that about pronouns?

You talking about "bros" and "brothers"? Well, Bros. needs that period, but commas IIRC don't go after periods.

Suffice to say, modship could be replaced with a better word. That way you don't have to argue about capitalisation. That's what I'd reword it to.

I was thinking about rewording it after your 1st sentence. I also think it should be switched to your idea.

Is this worded right? Should it be "No stealing ideas from other members (Especially those related to their upcoming games/movies!)"? It seems awkward the way it is now. EDIT: And... Should it be "No malicious hidden links or anything like that"? Because I'm not really familiar with the phrase "anything of the sort". _________________Adopted by Shounic

The stealing ideas one is OK grammatically. it is only awkward to you I guess. Would you prefer the word "and" instead of a slash? 2nd, ehhh, The whole thing just sounds wrong. I would just reword it. "Anything of the sort" is the same thing as "anything like that"

I hope my suggestions aren't all wrong... The phrase "another person has made" isn't correct when put next to the rest of the sentence. _________________Adopted by Shounic

No you couldn't. If you put "Obama is President of the United States." then it would be correct. You can't go "Obama is the President [...]"; that's grammatically incorrect.

You insulted my English?!  I use the word you'd all the time to represent "you would", though I guess it's not the best of word choices Ok Yikes there is more wrong with that sentence then you think, thanks. I am not too concerned about periods on the endings Not bad | | | | Nobody wrote: Is this worded right?

I reworded the stealing rule, but I don't see anything wrong with the phrase "anything of the sort" Wow, I really need to proofread what I post _________________ Current project(s):
