Text speak and shouting

From Omlet Club Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Please could we politely ask members not to post using text speak as it's really hard to work out what's been said half the time. It doesn't take much longer to write what you're wanting to say in proper English and means that your post is likely to actually be read and not just overlooked as no one can be bothered to try and decipher it.

It's also extremely bad netiquette to write messages using entirely capital letters as this is the equivalent of shouting!

It really doesn't take any time at all to write "you" instead of "u", "great" and not "grt" or worse "gr8" or to check that your caps lock button is switched off and you'll make the majority of forum members much happier if you do as they'll be reading your posts instead of ignoring them.

This is not a rule we're going to enforce, just a polite request to make things a bit easier.
