Though an excellent resource, I believe spellcheck will provide more fuel to the individuals prone to pointing out people's misspellings in posts. Post-Spellcheck will be hell, in my opinion. Now when someone fails to spell a word or words correctly, not only will they seem foolish for doing so, but they will be flamed even more profusely for also failing to utilize spellcheck!! Do you see my point?
Just my 2 cents.
Now as for as these posts:

I would love it if it blocked posts with 5+ misspellings. That's not really what you're asking for, but it would be nice. No more 1337 speak. That's what this place needs.
I would like to see moderators banning people for excessive leet speak though; "BK" et al are used far too frequently.
I ask you, why so distraught over the 1337 speak? This is, after all, a Halo forum, is it not? I can agree wholeheartedly that it can be highly annoying to see a huge abundance of it, but it's no different really than the argument one person (he/she will go unnamed) gave about posters typing out actions (e.g. *hugs*). If something is spam, then take the necessary action(s). But 1337 speak cannot be automatically grouped into spam. Annoying, yes, but let's be practical and remember what type of forums we are on and with what age groups of people we are surrounded by.
