Actually, not-so-subtle mockery seems to work pretty well
Just respond in kind until they either get tired of deciphering your messages and/or realize how irritating it is to have to try to figure out what others are saying.
After the following exchange, this poster (Monia3000) is actually making an effort to be more coherent…which has lead to other “interventions” for other posters, usually with at least some success. It works better than “it’s not nice to make people have to work at reading your posts” for some reason…

Since being the best speller in your class is important to you, I’m guessing you are very young.

I’m not trying to be mean, but can you not purposely misspell words? There are fans on here who do not speak english as a first language and they probably did not understand your post one bit. Have some respect for non-english speaking players and those of us who don’t want to read hyrogliphics!
