It's called "lazy typing" (well, maybe not called specifically "lazy typing", but that's the general picture). Even in Spanish-speaking countries, I doubt most keyboards have keys specifically for the inverted punctuation and accented characters, and omitting punctuation is seen quite often on the English-speaking parts of the internet - and I'd imagine that using un-accented characters is a less greivous grammatical error than misspelling words, as also often happens on the English web, often intentionally. I don't see why you're all making such a fuss over a Spanish speaker making the exact same mistakes/omissions in Spanish that most English speakers do in English on the internet.
