I accepted a member before that had horrid grammar, and she has been a part of our mall for a while now and helps out so much.

[quote=Dmitri][quote=raine_storme][center] Mm, the grammar bit would probably tend to rely on whether or not English is the person's first language.... If it is, they have no excuse, and they'll drive me nuts in my forum if I let them join... But if its their second language and they're honestly trying, and they type English well enough to be decipherable, then I can deal with a few typos and grammar mistakes. :O ------------------------------------------------------------------- [url=http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=raine_storme&misc]~~ Come visit my map shop ~~[/url] [/center][/quote] Yeah exactly. Plus it comes down to this: If they cant be bothered learning proper grammar when it is indeed their first language (country: United states etc etc), are they gonna even do their part of the work in a mall? Probably not. An even better approach is to check their account. If they are well rounded (Pet stats/BD scores, avatards, trophies, awesome gallery[pet species/color dont count unless it's a draik or something unobtainable from lab ray/FFQ]) then chances are, they are good. of course there are exceptions but...[/quote] *** I also tend to check people's accounts before letting them into my mall... >.< Especially if their pets are fed or sick... honestly, if you can't even be bothered to feed them, or at least be lazy enough to stick them in the Neolodge, and taking them to the healing springs if they're sick, then what's the chances you're going to be dedicated to my mall?

Well some people deliberately keep their pet hungry. I know I did when I was snegging (those work best at DYING) Never got out of that habit however *lol*

I do the same when feeding my kougra goumet... I can refeed her sooner if she is dying. I am constantly learning about many of the reasons people's pets look so terrible. I know that to get Meuka as a BD opponent your pet has to have some illness....blah, blah, blah insert directions to follow to get Meuka. I got so excited that I had him as a BD Opponent I forgot my pet was sick! Oops! But I liked the general point of your post and think it is a decent procedure to weed through candidates when you have a lot of them. You can always say casually ...Hey your Kacheek has blank, have you been taking him to healing springs? I see pets as people's typing score, lol! Yeah I'd love a 80WPM typist but it's not a deal breaker. ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ temps_bons graphics ~ http://www.neopets.com/~Mimi_Miaulement

Glad nobody went by my pets! LOL I go through phases with them, just like anything else on the site. If I am in an off phase (which is more often than not) it will take me until they are dying to notice they aren't in the lodge anymore.

I never use pet statuses though. The account in general is a good enough indicator. If you start looking into hunger, then you'd also have to look at how many games played and what mastery level they are at, userlookup layouts, and all those other tiny things. Trophy count, BD stats, and avatars/gallery are more than enough for me. PLus those cant be obtained in a couple clicks either

I look at account age before anything. Like in the trading post, it's a little suspicious to me when I get an offer from a new account. Especially when I get a gargantuan offer from a 2 week old account that is usually not pure.. I am a little shunned by that =/ I look at Guilds second. Most guilds accept anybody but there are a few that have high reqs such as .. The Power Factor(especially this one) Celestial Dawn Legendary Warlords(This one is very high as well..) Battlers Pride Phoenix Warlords A Pod Central Command Regality etc.etc.. if I see any of those I don't need to look at anything else because I know the hard work, struggle, and sacrifice that they have put in to get there (:

I do the same... But then again, I have days, where I cant write a sentence, without putting 10 mistakes into it... ;)

Well grammar/spelling becomes important in judging a mall though, as opposed to members. People make typos all the time but with mall petpages, they should take the time to run spell check lol P.S. what would your opinion of a product be like if its packaging had a bunch of spelling mistakes??
