The communityā€™s sidebar doesnā€™t list a single rule so I donā€™t know how they expect to get users to fall in line if itā€™s completely unspoken.

Anyway this is a rare case of a very tiny community where no one is getting hurt so itā€™s not a huge deal. But if you plan on discussing news using any kind of acronym I guess donā€™t go there lmao.

Thoughts welcome! Am I missing something?

    I mean, if in the context those posts were low-effort and didnā€™t contribute to the thread in any meaningful way, I could understand. Like sharing nothing but a reaction gif in a discussion heavy community could be seen as ā€œlow effortā€.

    But common acronyms? Yeah, thatā€™s definitely a strange thing.

    Also, isnā€™t GIF itself an acronym? something-or-other Image Format?

      It is! Jraphics Interchange Format.

        Oh, I just mentioned it as a point of interest when discussing banning ā€œacronymsā€. Wasnā€™t meant to call you, the OP, out or anything. Just found it funny that mods would ban for acronyms, yet in the messages, use an acronym.
