I don’t even know what to think about this one. I’m not angry, more confused than anything. There’s only one mod there so i asked them, and they said “It’s against policy. It’s the abbreviations policy.”
I see no such policy anywhere, so who knows what’s going on. Is it only the NYT that can’t be abbreviated? What about the US? Is LOL forbidden too? And if so, why are we forbidden from laughing there!
They didn’t even remove the comment.
The mod is user qrstuv. Maybe the only abbreviation allowed is when they say one? That’s a power trip!
A pet peeve of mine is when people randomly throw acronyms around expecting everyone to just know what it means, but this is taking the piss.
Yeah, I’m okay with discouraging abbreviations. But a blanket ban is silly.
Comments on a post about a New York Times article regarding the United States should probably be fine to use NYT & US.
Comments talking about the best computer role playing game going on and on about PoE2 deserve a ban however.
Power over Ethernet 2 when??
I work in marketing and it’s not fun anymore please take me off this ride
