If someone consistently used "text speak" in their writing, but their imaginative stories were great, would you totally overlook it every time they wrote "r u ok?" in IC dialogue?
The problem is assuming that omitting quotation marks in /say is an error. It's not. It's purely a stylistic difference based on how one reads the medium. We can look at a typo or misuse of a contraction and say, "Yes. That's an error." Quotation marks or the lack thereof in /say don't fall into that category, because you're not writing a sentence in a novel. You're actually doing text generation that's rather more like a script, and they don't use quotation marks in scripts.
So, these are entirely different things.
