At least make an effort.

[Agent Proto]

Ok, so I read a thread, and it was full of the typical newb typing. Mostly lower-cased, short-hand typing (b, 2, u, ur, etc), and whatnot. I don't really mind reading it, but dammit, at least make an effort to type more properly. It's not tough to spell the small words like you, to, be, and anything else that you would usually shorten. Sure, you can do that in emails or in chatrooms, but this is a forum, and you should at least put more effort to typing and spelling correctly. It's not that hard to do. So what if "short-hand typing" saves time, because you're still wasting time reading and lurking the forums anyway, so at least use the time you're wasting to put effort into typing when you post.

Anyway, that's all. Feel free to vent if you agree or disagree with this, and let's also talk about some of the things that annoys you when you're at a forum, such as this.

Sorry I guess I should be more efficient with my typing. I do that stuff a lot.

anyway crap that annoys me is whenever anybody types in what people call 1337, numbers or symbols in words, names, anything like that, just annoying

I never said anything about what goes on in the profile. Just the posts in general. Does that mean PMs, or signatures, or custom ranks? No. I am not condemning anyone for not putting effort, I'm just saying what I think needs to be said, of course. :P

I'm only pulling your leg.

I try most times for proper punctuation and the like, but some times I don't feel like it, but one thing I don't do is the to = 2, you = u, and be = b, I don't do that intenionaly. But punctuation I do forgoe at times.

I'm 0nly pulling y0ur leg.

Fixed.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I agree 110% with your here Proto. One day I will find all these short-hand "lolling" typists and force them to learn correct english by gunpoint.

[Psychotic]

I hate it when people like Proto think that they are so high-and-mighty that they have the right to judge how other people post. Who do you think you are? You should make the effort to show others respect and maybe they will make the effort to type to a level which conforms to your personal standards which you are imposing on everyone else!
