Hey guys, gltch here.
I've spent way too much time on PMC, and during that time I've noticed "a few" things we need to change.
I felt I really needed to cover these topics, but I don't have enough time to sit down and just type away. I will make part 2 when I have the time.
As of the time I started writing this, there were 732,499 skins on Planet Minecraft. How many would you say were original skins? 700,000? 500,000? Based on the few pages I looked through, only about 5 out of the 20 on each page were original. That's right now. What about from the time where everyone was making the teen skins? A LOT of them aren't original. Some of them are original, just changing the hair color doesn't make something original. As said in the comments below, the hoodie skins are overdone. That's where I was coming from. I'd say only about 150,000 (if that) are original skins. Most people only upload skins to try to get XP. Come on, people.
As of the time I started writing this, there were 273,923 projects on Planet Minecraft. How many would you say are original? 200,000? 150,000? I'd say most of them are original, so good job people, in that section. I do have a problem, however. Yes, I know some people aren't good at building. Yes, I know some people are good at building. Seriously, though, do you really need to share your 5x5 wooden shacks? No. Also, some people don't have screenshots for their builds. Why would I want to download something that only you say is really good? Why would I trust you? Come on, people.
I know, not everyone has perfect grammar. I have a confession to make: I sometimes mess up with my grammar, too *gasp*. Really, when it comes down to it, you should use proper grammar ALL THE TIME. If you want people to take you seriously and respect you, why wouldn't want to use proper grammar? Also, as SoarynTheEagle put it in his recent blog about grammar, don't use "I'm not English so I don't have good grammar" as an excuse. Accept that you make mistakes. Even if you aren't English, you don't need to include that. People will think you are just like everyone else.
"Why Should I Stop Typing Like This? It's A Habit And I've Been Doing It For As Long As I Can Remember. Just Ignore It."
You should stop typing like that BECAUSE IT IS SO ANNOYING TO READ!!! It is so much more work to do that than to just type normally. I'd almost prefer that you don't capitalize anything over capitalizing everything. I messed up so many times when I was typing that quote up above, because I know grammar and I don't capitalize every word. Come on, people.
I need you guys to do what I said to do above. Also, PLEASE DIAMOND AND/OR FAVORITE THIS!!! I need it on the Pop Reel so people can see this and change PMC for the better.
Thank you for reading this (if you really did). As I said above, I don't have the time to make this one big blog post. I will make part 2 sometime in the future. It will cover Language Usage (Part 2), Blog Posts, Forum Posts, and other things I may think of.
Please Diamond this if you liked it and agreed with me, Favorite if you really liked it and want to help change PMC, comment any topics you feel I should cover in part 2, and Subscribe if you want to see more posts by me, including Part 2!
