Does it really matter? Forum posts are stream of consciousness, more often than not typed on our phones and posted with at most a quick reread. For me the content is several orders of magnitude more important than spelling. Personally I find myself discounting more those that find the need to trifle over spelling much like I discount those that never dare to risk but choose to profit by critiquing in hindsight. Spelling might matter when trying to please the establishments but it's the underlying thoughts however spelt that matter.

It doesn't matter all that much. Looking back at why I was motivated to offer a tip, I think when the poster pleaded "why did they treat us like garbage?" I wondered if his/her written communication could be contributing to that.

This:

is not true. You didn't write your post in txtspk because that is not the locally acceptable way of communicating. It could be comprehensible, unambiguous and require less typing, but it just doesn't meet the tacitly agreed standards in this community and you would not expect your ideas to have the impact they deserve if you chose to write that way.
