Stranza Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 If you had the chance to add one rule (not remove any rules) to the forum what would it be? Tempting as it would be to ban certain topics I think I would get rid of all text speak. I don't mean typo's or genuine spelling mistakes but the lazy way a few people write things out, like they are chatting on facebook, and there would be a penalty for using this lazy language too! Anyone caught would have a three day ban and be forced to read War and Peace in Latin, maybe not in Latin but some language they aren't fluent in.

AJ sheffield Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 What do you suggest? Make them shovel up the phlegm from outside the betting shop at Firvale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donuticus Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Anyone using text speak should be put up against the wall and disposed of inhumanely. When I return and come to power this is exactly what will happen. /jeremyclarksonmodecancel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranza Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 What do you suggest? I would suggest making them stand up in front of everyone and read it out loud, see how silly it sounds but my plan falters a bit, y'know being an on-line forum, no one would see their shame!
