If I can't read it, I won't!

I thought this was a railroad forum, not an English class! Our language is much different than those in English speaking countries elsewhere. Get on with it!

You're right, it is a forum. However, considering that communication is done 100% through what you type in a post, wouldn't it make sense to take the time to type out your post in a reasonably legible fashion? It'll help get your message across to a larger audience.

A snippet from the guidelines on a wireless services forum I run.

Write like a reasonably intelligent person. Make your subject clear, not "OMG HELP LULZ". If people have to struggle to read your posts, they probably won't. if u write like ths u mite find urself in srs trouble LOL

If user doesn't follow it, they get an infraction. That will usually straighten them and they'll start typing properly. We do give our numerous international users where English is not their first language exemption though.
