Just to clarify that text speak will NOT be tolerated on this forum. It reflects the standard of the members that we don't tolerate it and makes the forum a far easier place to find information, and far less stressful in reading posts.
Internet abbreviations are fine such as IMO, IIRC, FFS and so on, but things such as:
.....will not be tolerated.
There will be a warning system, if ignored then any post that you make written in text speak will be deleted with no explanation, no further warnings and no point of deliberation.
Hopefully this way we can keep the forum the way it is and not have it fall into the state of many other forums.
Warnings:
We appreciate that new users may be unfamiliar with the forum rules, so the following will be applied:
First offence = warning.
Second offence = message deleted and an infraction.
We'll allow up to 3 deleted messages, after that you'll be banned for a week. When you return, if you still don't learn, you'll be banned for 14 days.
If you then still persist it's a permanent ban.

- u
- gr8
- l8r
- 2mro
- kewl (it's the same number of letters FFS!)
