Default MSN emoticon shortcuts/txt speech/breaking the swear filter

Just a quick reminder that none of the above are tolerated on this forum. And you WILL be given infractions for constantly posting them.

Many members do not use MSN, so ending sentences with 'leona2' 'hee1' or whatever is very confusing for them. Along with the fact that it is plain annoying seeing the same users doing it time and time again. The odd one we can let slide, but when it turns out seemingly being in every other post, then theres a big problem.

Txt speech is also hard to understand. This has been a rule since the very beginning of this forum. A rule that people used to follow, and will start to again. And if they do not, then be expecting quite a few bans flying around. It is not hard to type out the proper English word rather than for example 'r u goin out 2nite' . And it makes it so much easier for everyone to understand what you are saying.

The swear filter is another rule that has constantly been ignored recently. As some of you know, infractions are being given for avoiding the filter. Whether you agree with the filter or not is irrelevant. It IS there, and it IS a rule. You cannot avoid the filter by accident, so you know at the time that you are breaking a rule. If you wish to continue breaking the filter, prepare for a ban, because people who do it over and over will be getting harsher infractions than the ones currently being given out, because clearly the current ones aren't working.


I am aware that I already made an announcement on this, but I want there still to be record when the announcement ends.




Also anyone who replies to this with any of the above, will receive an infraction from me
