I have been pulled up on this board alongside many others for making mistakes when writing is it necessary?
Should we be judged on our writing skills on a football forum?

If it changes you meaning, yes.
That's why we have the rules of grammar, and on a message board you'll be judged on what you say, not what you meant to say.
If it's just a cheap way of belittling a point of view, no.

Like everything, it depends on the context. If you’re being respectful and putting forward a point of view, of course not.
But if you’re ridiculing someone’s intelligence, and can’t spell the word “predantic” yourself, it’s kind of fair game.

"If it changes you meaning"?
I think that maybe should be your meaning.

Bizarrely, I tend to find I make far more mistakes when using my mobile, with predictive text, over using the computer, with just a spellchecker.
The mobile quite often replaces a word just after you've finished typing it so you think you've written one thing and then you look back later to find it's wrong. It's a technology that's got worse over time, too.

Who gives a shut! I mean, serially, it’s just not that impotent.
Nobody expects everything to be grammatically correct, spelled correctly, and properly punctuated, but there are some posts on this site that are absolutely incomprehensible. Just take a few seconds to reread what you typed, and it'll improve dramatically.
I take the time to try to understand what people are commenting, but it seems they can't take a few seconds to make sure it's intelligible.

That is correct.
However, ".. writing. Is it necessary?" would be better. If you want the largest percentage of people to understand it. Shorter sentences help people to understand text more easily.
