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!

      My first thought was some sort of tower defense flash game.

        Oh, it predates flash by a good bit. The instance is hosted for the community of a Public Unix host that dates back to BBS days of the Internet. Lots of cool retrotech, FOSS stuff, and FOSS-themed web comics.
