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!

    This person is a PTB for sure, I mean seriously? Banning people for abbreviations? That’s outright petty. This person strikes me as one of the biggest losers I’ve seen on here in a while.

    Oh and before some whiny asshole who’s probably an alt of the mod comes here whining about how they’re allowed to make whatever rules they want, they didn’t actually. I mean make any rule about it. The sidebar of their community literally says:

    News Stories
    

    So this person is a power tripper because they are banning people for something that isn’t actually a rule, nor is it a common decency violation. It’s just purely and simply banning for spite.

      I’ve straight blocked that News channel for this reason for some time. If the content is going to be filtered through the hands of mods this obnoxious, its not worth following.
