^...lol Famine is laying the law, a quick question Famine...I hate to point this out, but are you not condoning the use of such terminology that you have just classed as ? Have you forgotten that in your sig you have quoted Duke's post that is text far inferior to what you have just deemed unacceptable?
Why would I forget? Go and look at the origins behind Duke's post.
I have seen some use of common Net Acronym's on GTP, this does not bother me, I understand that this however is no the opinion shared by all net user's, although the greatest percentage of member's on GTP would understand the common terms that are used here on a regular basis.
I do believe there has to be a line drawn here, I personally think the use of common Net Acronym such as lol, brb, rofl, idk, etc, etcetera are ok as most people understand these basic terms.
I say it would be somewhat hard to completely extinguish the use of these phrases and would suggest an alternative such as a list of "Acceptable Net Acronymn's (Text Speak)", this is something that could be discussed and then posted as GTP news so that everyone is aware of what is genuinely acceptable and what is not.👍 On this note I would be willing to back up my idea by assisting in this proposal of acceptable GTP terminology.
The line has already been drawn. The Acceptable Use Policy is linked at the bottom of every thread on this site, and that particular phrase has been in it since the site was first created.
My contribution to this thread is a friendly reminder of what is encouraged and what is discouraged at this site. I should not need to make any further posts regarding this.
