The use of Text Speech on the forum

[Mark]

Hello!

Just a word of warning (actually a plea!) about the use of text speech on the forum.

I understand that text speech is 'the new way' of communicating on mobile phones, but please remember that this is a forum, which we use to discuss and talk about Big Brother.

With the growth of new members recently, there has been extended use of text speech being used.

It is hard, and sometimes annoying to try and translate long messages of text speech - so I'm now asking that everyone starts using proper English.
It will make reading forum messages much easier, and create a better flow in the community.

I would appreciate if those members would take the above into consideration, not only for the board's appearance, but for other users too.

Thanks,

- Mark

I'm bumping this to remind everyone - please don't use text speak in posts.

Also please don't post all in capital letters, its regarded as shouting and is difficult to read.

It's creeping back so... thread bumped.

[Amy]

Can I remind people NOT to use text speech thank you... Seems it's slowly creeping it's way back on the forum

[Red Moon]

I have noticed an increased use of text speech over the last week both in posts and in thread titles. Can I remind all users that text speech isn't allowed on TiBB and your posts and threads could be deleted and for repeated offenses you could receive a warning.

Yes but I would wager that the vast majority just tick the box. Just like you are 'supposed' to read the liscence agreements when you install software but you don't. You just tick the box.

Most people just use common sense on forums and they get on fine.
