I thought it was a forum rule that posts have to be in English.

are there any rules against unhelpful and snide posts like this one? People who do this really are the scum of the forum </BLOCKQUOTE>
I more or less agree, but still the forum rules say that text speak isn't allowed. It has absolutely nothing to do with English not being anyones first language or that someone can't master MSN speak. If text speak and MSN speak is the future of English, than you might as well start learning any other language as your first. Because proper or standard English will soon be extinct. People should grow up and use real English. That would actually mean that all the people who are visiting these forums and don't have English as their first language have a fair chance of following the discussion. I believe this is why this rule was installed in the first place.

That's fair enough, but are you telling me that the mods should ban a user if their grammar isn't up to a certain standard. That first post was not text speak at all.
Come on
It's ridiculous that somebody cannot post without a snide comment from some pleb who has too much time on his/her hands.
