I liked the idea of this game, so I'm attempting to execute it better. It's worth a shot...
Rules of posting a sentence or sentences:
In this game, a "Y" will be considered a vowel.
All consonants will be written as hyphens. This works better than underscores, because it's easier to tell how many consonants were taken out.
Use proper grammar. Don't capitalize vowels when they shouldn't be, don't forget to add apostrophes and commas when needed, and make sure you spell things correctly.
Post sentences, not words. A sentence should be complete, make sense, and, for the sake of the game, have more than four words that are four letters or longer.
If you want, you can post two sentences.
General forum rules apply to the sentences: no flaming or profanity.
Don't use names.
Only use words in the English language and dictionary. No Spanish, Japanese, Sweedish or whatever.
Write out numbers.
If you want to directly quote something that has a grammar error, add "[sic]" accordingly.
Example of bad a sentence:
"--i- I- o- -oo-" as "This is not good."
Mistakes: capital "I", missed a hyphen on "not", forgot the period at the end, not enough long words.
Example of a good sentence:
"--i- -e--e--e i- -u-- -e--e- --a- --e -i---." as "This sentence is much better than the first."
Rules of guessing a sentence or sentences:
Be serious. Don't guess something if your guess makes no sense.
You may guess once per post. Don't double-post.
Guessing will continue until a right answer is found.
Rules of giving hints:
Unveil all instances of a consonant if there have been two incorrect guesses or if no one has guessed in a day.
Don't unveil a consonant that only appears once unless there are no consonants that appear more than once.
Another kind of hint you can give... telling the general subject of your sentence. You can give the subject when you give your sentence or wait until after a few incorrect guesses to give a hint.
Common sense notes:
All vowels are showing, meaning a hyphen can not be a vowel.
Example: "---i--" can not be "burial".

Okay, I think I've covered everything, so I'll start now. Tell me if you think I should add, change, or remove a rule.
