The end of l33t speak on forums

A team of US software developers is developing a 'StupidFilter' that will block unintelligible posts from internet message boards.

Once the software is installed on a webserver it will scan posts before they are published for nonsense terms including 'OMG!!' and 'LOL', blocking the worst offenders with a message that says 'This comment is more or less unintelligible. Please try to restate it.'

.... the filter is 'blind to irony', making clever posts somewhat redundant ....



On the one hand I applaud the attempt to dedumb the English language but on the other I'm not a big fan of heavy handed policing of forums.

Heavy handed policing of forums is the only thing that allows them to be remotely readable.

Why LOL? I mean, I try to avoid using it, but it's really no more dumb than typing out a laugh which always looks dumb to me.
