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!
It gets dumber:
The user was banned for saying “mark my words”. And in the context it is clearly not some sort of threat, just an “I’m 100% sure of that”.
PTB.
[USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST]The mod is just a flat out troll. They’ve proven that for sure during this drama-fest.
They run a news comm and ban anyone that comments before they can lock the post. It’s very strange and, quite frankly, pretty dumb.
