That would certainly be valid if you were here alone talking to yourself, but as it is, there are other people to consider. If someone's too lazy to type an extra letter or two, then I'm too lazy to ready their crappy writing. It's just common sense to use good grammar/spelling because it's more effective. If I read the first post in a thread and the person is barely understandable I don't even bother listening to the person's problem. Whether or not I'm right for being that way doesn't matter. What does matter is if that person had just spent 5 more seconds doing it correctly they would have gotten a response from me, which is why they posted in the first place. It's not hard to write legibly, and it will get people to pay attention better than leetspeak.Originally Posted by Levian
Having said that, in this particular case, I don't see anything wrong with Tidus' post. I didn't have a problem at all understanding it. However just having HELP!!!! in the title is not necessarily going to grab people's attention enough to get them to listen. Specifics help start a person's brain off on the right track so when they're trolling, "Broken Keyboard" is going to be more effective than "Help!!!"
But I hope Yearg was just generalizing because I don't really know why he would single out this thread seeing as how there's nothing wrong with tidus' post. BurntPeanut's posts however...are a different story entirely. HAHA
