Welcome Tony.

Enjoy Soarer Central, but please make it enjoyable for us also and drop the funky "every1" type SMS-Speak.

We are all grown ups here and appreciate being treated as such.

We need a reason? There are plenty of kiddie forums out there, most car forums in fact.

However, we own Soarers! So, a quality car deserves loving time and attention and we expect the same respect.

When SMS-speak started creeping in, the quality of assistance to members dropped as the more knowledgeable people often couldn't be bothered trying to translate the lazy typing and shortcuts.

Your acceptance notification asked you to please read the rules, so really I shouldn't need to do it all again here.

This is an example of a post I deleted:

"my cat is making some noice and vibrates.pls if u hv let me knw.thnks"

Now that probably makes a lot of sense to you, but to the rest of us it's pretty much gibberish and a complete waste of space.

Anyway, we have very few rules, but lazy typing/SMS-speak is one of them.

Deleting offending posts and banning offending posters are the only tools we have to deal with it, so we use them.

I have to agree "SMS" speak is hard to read.
