Default Rule J

j) We do not allow 'text speech' to be used on the forum. Text speech was designed for mobile phones, not online communities. Please read http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/topic29297.htm which will give you more details. Also, we do not allow posts written solely in CAPITAL LETTERS. Not only is it annoying to read, it disrupts the flow of the forum.

The odd exception is ok; I am sure we have all used text speak every now and then, but currently some members seem to have forgotten this rule.

So stop all acting so childish and learn to type.

And no, I don't think I am a moderator.

I'd say it was equally pedantic.

If people can understand what "umg wtf" means, and what you posted, I don't see the problem.

There are bigger issues in the world than a bit of text speech.

First time in my life I ever agreed with Magic.

I agree it's annoying as hell, maybe 24 hour bans for excessive use is suitable. I'll think about it.

To be fair, I dont mind stuff like omg, lol, u etc its when everyone goes on like omgz bbz dat is wel funnix.

People wonder why people insult gay people, the members of tibb are a prime example - Sorry, but it's true, especially when most of you don't even speak like that off forum, and would most probably be mortified if people you actually knew saw you typing like it.

Yes Shaun, but this isn't 'the world'. This is a forum where we read posts, and it can be irritating having to read posts which read like they have been created by a four year old child.
