The community’s sidebar doesn’t list a single rule so I don’t know how they expect to get users to fall in line if it’s completely unspoken.

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

Thoughts welcome! Am I missing something?

    I mean, if in the context those posts were low-effort and didn’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 “low effort”.

    But common acronyms? Yeah, that’s definitely a strange thing.

    Also, isn’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 “acronyms”. Wasn’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.
