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!
What is SDF?
Also, since the rules aren’t written down, I wonder if they would object to defined acronyms. Like if I wrote “laughing out loud (lol)” in a comment, could I use the acronym later in the same comment? Could I use it in a subsequent comment? Could other people?

It’s a pretty old internet nonprofit, and I don’t think they’re involved in this community but it’s the moderator?
I saw a previous post about this community and I still don’t know what’s going on
“Super Dimension Fortress” that’s an abbreviation, bud. Straight to jail.
Ok see, that’s pretty cool. Im down with that. It’s too bad this one mod had made SDF look bad.

I was being avant gard. I was performing. Just joking bro!
I was making a joke, but that’s really informative, thank you!
I looked around and the closest thing I could figure out is SDF has something to do with linux. And they also ask for donations every chance they get.
