VIEWING MOD FORUM THREAD: ChatSpeak

REPLY: (by Miranda) Feb 24 2010 8:59pm
I just wanted to remind the mods that chatspeak is not -strictly- against the rules. Here is exactly what it says in the Detailed Rules:
2] This method of chatting is extremely hard to understand.
3] To the best of your ability, avoid using Chat Speak wherever possible. Misunderstandings can occur quickly when you use this type of grammar.
4] You have a full keyboard at your disposal, and do not need to use shortcuts in order to chat - players appreciate good English, and proper chat provides a fun and easy way to understand you, especially for those that play and English isn't their native language.

I'm mentioning this because some of the mods tend to get far too strict about this. It ends up making their jobs harder and makes players resent the mods. Some chatspeak is fine. Having a 'u' here or a '2' there. Even if it's every sentence they type, that's fine. It's when the entire sentence is chatspeak that it's a problem.

The only time you should be asking a player to please try typing everything out is if you simply cannot decipher it because basically everything is chatspeak.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks
