By any chance am I getting onto thin ice for saying it's okay to use 'textspeak' if we are joking about?
No.
Although, it isn't really ok. If we made concessions for people to use text speak when "joking around", it would be very difficult to control. banning text speak altogether cleans up the forum quite a bit, and makes everyone's posts easier to understand.
Some of us are old men (j/k I'm only 31) and have a hard time figuring out what a lot of it means. Others are from foreign countries and have the same problem due to the language barrier.
Simple, right?
