Agreed. I don't use text speak except in texts. I just don't see the difference between text speak & SWMBO, FFS, IMHO & so on.
If you're going to ban one then ban them all m8 ;D ;D ;D

This issue is raised in 'Suggestions' also...

Yes, and there will always be instances when, for whatever reason, a simplistic word filter is less than ideal.
That said, its a well known fact I often use OOF in the bath, and I have to type one handed then.

If text speak saved huge amounts it might just be acceptable .. but as far as I can see it usually saves about 2 letters per word...
m 8 - mate 2 letters
u - you 2 letters
txt - text 1 letter
2 - to/too 1 or 2 letters
so in the OP's opening post he saved 4 letters in approximately 100 .... :(
IMHO it is pure laziness and bad habits.
Rant over .. :)

If I was forced to use the "wrong hand" permanently I am sure it would be very frustrating,and wouldnt want to be part of a community which wasnt prepared to give a little bit of leeway without constantly telling me that I was stupid and gay.Or that "you is too hard(shouldnt that read difficult?) for me to spell.

I often spend a couple of hours at the time on the phone and end up typing with one finger on one hand rather than 2 fingers with 2 hands.
So my vote is with TB, Ban Yxy speak.
In fact when I 1st used messenger I used txt speak and couldnt spell to save my life. Allthough I still cant spell everthing properly it halped me big style, so for that reason alone I hate txr spk now on the net.

I think I will decline your very kind invitation -- spell checker will accept "too" as it is correctly spelt -- but used in the wrong place! Checker would also accept prawn, but that doesn't make it correct usage ;)

Some text speak isn't too bad. But if I was to type in Dublineese the word filter would be completely confused and the server would probably fry :)

My google spell checker checks spelling and the way offers too alter a word if not used in the correct grammar.
The above could well be mispelt as checker is offline... >:( ;D

Until that was posted no-one knew .. so how could the guy be given a break ?? and as already said .. it is possible to type and obey the site rules, the use of text speak only saved him 8 keystrokes in 100.
Methinks some folks are getting on elevated Equus ferus caballus over this ...
The rules are there, admin have repeatedly asked that they be obeyed, now they are making a point ...
Good on them I say .. :)

I agree with the rules,but what i object to quite strongly is the manner in which it is done,to put some of the comments like the 'To gay to spell' rubbish is not needed or neccesary and is childish
I agree there is no need for text speak,but why cant it be civilised...
e.g m 8 (The correct word is mate)????????
What's wrong with that? gets the point across without being insulting
But having said that if there is no text speak then why are the likes of SWMBO...AFAIK,etc etc....half of which i personally dont know what they are meant to be......
TB (or the other Admins)im not having a go mate,its just my opinion...
I think its wrong offence and childish,and by that i mean the manner in which it is done......
If the rules of the forum are there to be stuck to,which im happy to do so,then can someone answer me why there is a non-Omega thread in 'Vauxhall Omega Gallery'????

I know I'm gonna regret bumping this back up, but a couple of valid points unanswered...
Abbreviations.
We are an internet car forum first and foremost, therefore we couldn't possibly ban well known and long standing 'net abbreviations (eg lol, imho, afaik), nor could we ban car abbreviations (eg, HBV,ICV,ECU).
We are not a mobile phone site, and don't cream our jeans everytime a new firmware comes out for a N95 - plenty of other sites on the net for that - so no need to use their gay language here.
Computer speak is borderline, but then I suppose computers and internet are interlinked. Probably an element of sour grapes in there, as computer threads bore me to tears, but like everyone here, I have to take the rough with the smooth.
As to the apparent childishness of the the wording on the censor, all I would like to point out, is the sledgehammer has cracked the nut, where as all previous attempts failed. If thats the way we have to do things around here, I may as well rm -rf / and put the hardware and my time to more worthy uses. If people are either too lazy to read a few simple rules (posted at the top of every board), or too full of themselves to think it doesn't apply to them, then the sledgehammer solution is the last resort. Before packing up and going home.

Yep... You're going to regret it ::) ::) ::)
Personally I agree with TB. Text speak is for exactly that... Texting! And even then I think it should be banned! It's impossible to read and bugs the hell out of me! It saves fractions of a second when you're typing on a keyboard!
TB... I think the sledgehammer is finally getting through :y :y :y
Don't chuck it in as this is by far the finest Forum I have ever been a member of and is a great place to make some really good friends :y :y :y :y

there are posts in general help on page 2, 3 and 7 with no replies. Ffs, please go and do something even slightly more important than this 'dangle berries'!
:y :y
I'm afraid I find this 'dangle berries'! The forum rules are there for a reason... If people read them and stuck to them it'd be much easier for all of us.
As for the text filter... Yes it's a little annoying (and very funny IMO!) but it does appear to be working! Have you noticed how few posts now contain text speak?

This issue is raised in 'Suggestions' also...
Its pathetic!
This above is downright rude insulting and childish.....get a grip on this please
All we ask is everyone follows approximately 12 posting rules. Its not hard, its not difficult, and it sure as hell isn't rocket science.
What part of [size=14]Use English, no text speak which is notoriously difficult to read[/size] is so effing difficult???
If people can't talk like a grown up..........
Have you read the first posting in this thread ?
Yes, and there will always be instances when, for whatever reason, a simplistic word filter is less than ideal.
That said, its a well known fact I often use OOF in the bath, and I have to type one handed then.
I dare anyone to comment on that last remark. ;D ;D
Your going to drop it in the bath one of these days.

Its just a line out of a film....tickled me when i first heard it.
Would that film be Hard men. Its an old gangster flick which is awesome featuring a proper O.G mad frankie fraser.
That be the one mate....love the scene where bear speed and tony are at the bar in the Greek restaurant and bear and speed are discuss oral sex...great line from speed... ;D ;D ;D

As long as the converter doesn't take a dive too !!!! But, then, I guess that's what fuses are for :)

I agree with the rules,but what i object to quite strongly is the manner in which it is done,to put some of the comments like the 'To gay to spell' rubbish is not needed or neccesary and is childish
I agree there is no need for text speak,but why cant it be civilised...
e.g m 8 (The correct word is mate)????????
What's wrong with that? gets the point across without being insulting
But having said that if there is no text speak then why are the likes of SWMBO...AFAIK,etc etc....half of which i personally dont know what they are meant to be......
TB (or the other Admins)im not having a go mate,its just my opinion...
I think its wrong offence and childish,and by that i mean the manner in which it is done......
If the rules of the forum are there to be stuck to,which im happy to do so,then can someone answer me why there is a non-Omega thread in 'Vauxhall Omega Gallery'????
Nail on the head! I am a culprit for using (m.8) now and then and I do try to avoid it but it slips in sometimes when using my PDA or just in general and I find the word filter insulting!

Thought that the whole film was quality....""Do you know how many people die from passive farting"" ;D ;D
Funny thing is i bought Hard men and I.D at the same time (VHS days) and speed/gumbo couldnt believe they were both Lee ross... :o
Oh and I.D is a quality film.... :y
Will be having a search for them films you mention... :y
