Default Textspeak?
Is this still allowed or what? I'm sure I saw a thread by a mod announcing this will not be allowed from now yet I'm still seeing it from certain members(you know who you are).

I never use textspeak. I think it looks immature.

I use acronyms yes, but I only use the ones everyone else uses like ik, ikr, atm, iirc and so on. I use kmt as well but thats more of a joke.

Yeah still not allowed.

Obviously for the ODD post we can let it go, but if someone was constantly typin lyk dis or whatever then they would end up getting their posts deleted and getting infractions for every post they make like that.

possibly because he stabbed a couple of her friends in the back and then threw their blood soaked bodies under a bus.

People used to be given warnings for text speak, now I notice the mods are much more tolerant of it. I would love for warnings/infractions to be given out for it again though, it's so annoying to see a post full of it and there are some members who use it constantly.
