Typing Quirks

[NightmareWolfie]

So I've seen many different users use things like numbers or special characters as letter substitutes for speaking. This isn't problematic, however it could be significantly harder to read for those with reading disabilities. So, if you'd like to type like that, I think it's fair to require translation at the end for those born with issues reading. Ex: 3x@mp13 // Example. I would like opinions on this rule in the comments before implementation

While I'm sure many of you think this is specifically targeted at @007n7, Maple made a post about this already with a different user and another person also has had me bring this up, it is not bias.

@nightmarewolfie it sounds like a good idea, or atleast a short summary. i had difficulty reading it because of my fast reading, its actually a thing most people cant (refrencing to the posts: if you can read this) plus, some ppl have dyslexia. i ngl like the idea (plz no1 hate on me..)

[NightmareWolfie]

@sighniu Nobody is going to hate ya for defending those with dyslexia :3 Same reason I made this post

[sighniu]

@NightmareWolfie appriciate it :) im collage level in english but ngl the words are hard to peice together and i just assume

I agree, at least I don't see any point of doing this, but if you do do this, just try to get your point across in a clear manner instead of typing ^786763495768&#$*(&Z2894859328

It think it’s funny

[ev.sebastian]

i think that's a good idea, can tend to be hard to read on occasion

[Gamizavier]

@NightmareWolfie would this not ruin the emersion?

[ev.sebastian]

sometimes the immersion can be a tad difficult to deal with...

[Gamizavier]

I can see

[ev.sebastian]

Not everyone is you tho- I can barely read it-

[Gamizavier]

thats not what i meant

[Gamizavier]

But yeah, lets add a translation

I persenally don't mind, but if i'm trying to talk to you in DMs about something staff related, please don't type like this, I can read it but it's a pain in the ass and not nesscery to be doing unless for some reason your keyboard is busted. you can do whatever you'd like in posts though imo.

[Yanderemenhera]

though if you're just DMing your friend you can type however you'd like ofc

In my opinion (not saying it's fact) I think 'typing quirks' are really annoying and surely are just harder to type out anyway, let alone understand. I think they make people look like they're trying to be 'different' and uh- 2020 core (We all cringe for that one </3)

I wouldn't necessarily make a rule against this specifically, but make a rule that outlines this area as a whole as I am sure there will be a new variation of this in about a year or so.
