Basically Shaun, you can't type like that.
Practice what you preach, dear.
I was referring to text speach, not saying we all need perfect grammar, dear.
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.
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.
It can also be irritating having members who think they're moderators, but you don't see me moaning.
Shaun it's true though, and this time last year you'd have agreed.

Then don't use all the stupid text speech talk and Magic won't have to step-up and act like a moderator.

Problem solved.

As I'm often told, the ignore button is a wonderful feature. If you don't like something, use it.

kk thx x

So is the banning feature.

I do much wonder if people on here will look back on the forum in a year and go 'What the F was I thinking?' It is like one person said something witty and everyone carried it on and exaggerated it by 10.

Sorry if this is how my behaviour looks. But I just see that I am pointing out a distinct problem, which you obviously haven't noticed. Maybe if this problem didn't exist, such a thread wouldn't of been created.

Why should I have to use the ignore button to ignore rule breaches?

Don't apologize they are just angry because it is aimed at them, if it was against something that all these trend followers believed in then they would jump on like a pack of wolves.

Meh, at the end of the day, if we find it fun, we find it fun. You can think it's sad, or annoying, or whatever. That's your prerogative.

We aren't harming anyone and it doesn't take much effort to either:

a) exit thread
b) put me/others on ignore

Because there are worser things on here that go unnoticed a lot of the time. If the text speech on here was causing you great emotional pain, I'd understand. It's completely harmless.

Just out of curiosity, how is typing like a ****** fun?
Whatever floats your boat I suppose

And as I have said, why should I ignore people breaking the rules.

Fair do's Shaun, I won't complain anymore as long as the posts stick to Chat & Games where it doesn't interrupt other conversations.

Since when did anything on here cause anyone emotional pain, yet when it comes to someone slagging Britney off etc your the first to complain, does that cause you emotional pain?

Care to point some of these out?
Even if there are greater problems, its still a stupid problem that needs adressing soon. And it isn't completly harmless; its ruining the flow of the site.

Yeah but surely there's a difference between text speech, i.e. someone who blatantly doesn't understand the English language, and someone choosing to type in a specific way. I can understand how it's annoying for other people, it doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever because I can understand what I'm reading, e.g. "ohay" makes sense to me, however "il tk 2 u l8r ttfn" takes me a moment to understand.

Hmm, it is annoying for me, its good you dont mind. But personnally its ruining the flow of the site with it at the extreme levels it is at now, and I think this rule needs more attention from the members.
