Using the full keyboard ?

    In "The Charter" it informs us that TextSpeak is not allowed (praise be) and suggests that the full keyboard be used when posting.

    What happens if the post in question cannot use the full keyboard ? I can't really find a way to introduce Z+*&^%$£@! or indeed ~ into this post in a meaningful fashion....

    Every post should consist of the pangram:

    "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

    Other characters are exempt, because, well, that would be a silly rule.

    Hope this clears things up...

    ;)

    Simple: I use Z+*&^%$£@! in every post, but to use the full keyboard I have to hit Delete to get rid of them.

    Totally unnecessary to delete them all.

    You only need to hit delete once.

    Thanks for the clarification. That's a load off my mind.

    I feel that maybe I need to relax the rule a bit, so the following is also acceptable:

    Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

    Please note, I am not soliciting bribes.

    This is a fine example of Boards moderating at its best. Clarifications issued and re-issued without having to resort to feedback and cat pics.

    Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs - and you can whistle for bribes...

    Screw that, I'm aiming to buy my way into adminship within the year.

    Ah, but therein lies the genius of my system: I only hit delete once to get rid of +*&^%$£@!~ but I highlight them all first with the Shift and arrow keys because otherwise those little fellas wouldn't get a look in.
