I need help proofreading a very short essay that I wrote, and was wondering if anyone was willing to help? You would just have to quickly read it over and tell me if the flow was good and if there is certain wording I should change to make it sound better.

It's kind of personal though, so I am not going to post it here. If you are interested in reading it though and giving some feedback, just post here or send me a PM and I will PM it to you. Thanks!

From TL.net Ten Commandments:

Spam our site and you die. Advertise pyramid schemes (it's been tried before) and you die. Post/link/request illegal stuff (CD keys, warez, serialz, copyrighted materials, actual threats of bodily harm, etc.) and you die. We'd rather ban you than receive a cease and desist letter from some lawyer or anal retentive parents' organization.

This includes non-StarCraft related voting campaigns (vote for my friend in this contest!) or blatant threads asking for homework advice (how do I solve this equation??). TeamLiquid is not your personal army. It is not a substitute for Google or a tool for lazy students. We're here to discuss things and have fun, not for your own selfish needs.


On a side note, I'll proofread your essay if you PM me.

I think that TL commandment needs some rewriting, though. As far as morality and ethics go, I believe it should be ok to ask for homework advice, not solutions. TL is full of geniuses in their respective branches and I'm sure more than one would be delighted to help their fellow when it comes to discussing problems relating to their field of expertise. In my case, I'd be willing to write an entire article, exclusive for TL, regarding the explanation of some "algorithm x" or "data structure y" or even AI concepts (my passion) for the sake of beginning programmers or CS students.

I consider myself to be a really good writer, however, since English is not my first language, I do not feel I will ever be truly good at it (compared to a native's)! I could proof read it for you, though, if you'd like.

Thank you to the people who PMed me and are helping me out. I really appreciate it!

Also, with regards to the not posting of homework help, it's not actually homework but an essay for an application. That's why it has the personal stuff in it which is why I don't just post it here. I've seen people in the past post essays and dissertations and theses and whatnot asking for feedback and advice which is why I thought it would be okay. If the mods decide it's not allowed though, then feel free to remove it.

Keep PMing or posting if you want to help me out though! The more feedback I can get the better. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that commandment rule does not apply to blogs, as blogs tend to be personal and stuff.
Anyhow, maybe putting it here in a spoiler might help? Getting PM'd and all that is a bother, less people will do it that way
Delete your post underage b&. You're incestuous for you're onee-chan so you're clearly not a bad guy, but others might not agree

I don't know how asking for help on homework or anything really in blogs is a ban-worthy thing. To this end, I present, Exhibit A.
