On many fora the use of particular misspellings is ironic. For instance, "teh" for "the" and "yuo" for "you" are common mistakes, but if they are repeatedly used by a person it may be to hint that the message is not serious, or to make fun of other people who make these mistakes. This may not be obvious to people who have not read anything written by that person before, and they may "correct" such mistakes. This gets them laughed at because they didn't realize the mistakes were deliberate.

Also, sometimes after a very serious message the poster feels as though they are letting down the forum by not giving enough humor, so they post something which is full of mistakes and appears to be written by a noisy young boy. This may be at the end of the post, or as an immediate followup to the original post. On anonymous fora some people even insult themselves in followup posts to generate attention.
