A useful, easily-monitored thread for telling us about typos, grammar flubs, factual errors and other mistakes. These are always helpful, but are easily-missed (and occasionally derailing) in threads created by specific posts.

I assumed he was troling.
to topic: in the headline Cory just posted, it’s not “wrong,” I don’t think, but it would be much clearer if the “swat” in “swatting” was in caps i.e. “SWATting,” denoting the law enforcement acronym. it now reads like “swatting” is some sort of in-game tactic, like “slapping” or something.
You are absolutely corect in your deduction. Swatting has been used as an in-game tactic. Just like regular “Swatting”, it involves a 911 call, insinuations of a terror threat, and a SWAT team. Many people recognize swatting from the recent increase in swatting incidents around the country.
okay then.
@noahdjango I think you mean “Swating”.

Would it help if we @ mentioned you, or the original author, or both?
Both is good, but @me or @falcor for sure

The article above is unattributed - was it posted by Maggie, etc? I can’t see who authored it
Odd! Probably a mistake. I’ll find out who posted it, and fix it.
