I think it's a bad idea. People shouldn't be forced to write a certain way. If they want to write like they're using SMS, let them. If people really want to clean up their post, they'll hit spell-check or preview themselves. I really don't see this as that big of a problem. If you have that hard of a time reading it, PM me the message and I'll translate it for you. I admit, some posts are hard to read...but if it's taking too much time, just skip it. Don't force people to improve their writing skills. It will be an obnoxious extra step that will accomplish nothing. I know if it does happen, I'm not going to go back and re-read what I wrote.

The Internet is about freedom...not forcing people to do things a certain way.

(And for the people talking about bad grammar (not in this thread), there were grammar mistakes in their posts (and there's probably a whole bunch in this post ))
