Maybe a sentence beggining with "please" and finishing with "Thanks" would help a lot

Yeah, and also please avoid caps and multiple question marks.

"Et facta est lux" is Latin for "and there was light"
(among the first verses of the Bible - "Let there be light: and there was light")

Er... Latinus, by the way, the s at the end of mean was not necessary

Sure, but moderating a forum doesn't mean correcting mistakes
When I find a mistake in a translator's profile, for instance, I always leave it. I think it gives some kind of information...

I understand, I did't expect you to correct all the mistakes in the forum (and I still don't), but as you changed the sentence, it was not much work to put out the s at the same time
Anyway, it's not that important

I understand, but this is not "my" sentence
I worry only about the aspect (harmony?) of the whole of the forum. The spelling mistakes belong to the author of the sentence, unfortunately for him.
Ha yes, I had not even seen it, the mistake.
