Yay ranting.
I hate the fact that someone is allowed to spam a 3 letter word just because it's under the guise of "roleplaying" and we're trying to be "kind", and thus a person is allowed to go past the rules with very minimal actual input, and causing much annoyance to users. I also don't like the fact this is all they do, so the chance of forming any kind of meaningful relationship with them is zero.
I also dislike the chatspeak rule because it's dumb. It has no purpose to exist, and only causes unnecessary hassle to pretty unjustified mutes. Heck, the only time anyone is called out for chatspeak is if they use "u" over "you", which is a really trivial thing to punish someone over. I get the main reason is to make Reborn look "intelligent", but, that doesn't work like that. What makes things appear unintelligent is the content, not how it's presented. Also, it worries me a bit that we are worried more about how the server looks to other users rather than accommodating users and ensuring they are having fun based on this rule. I doubt many people are severely annoyed by chatspeak to the point it ruins their chatting experience and feel offended or w/e. It also seems like a very biased rule that someone added early-ish and no one dare challenged.
tl;dr what are rules
