Abbreviations in S&S

pc7 · 2017-06-27 17:44:11

Hi, can I ask that a suggestion be put to s&s that if people use abbreviations they also put the full description in too. I find I'm having to look up quite a bit to understand the thread, something's I'd rather not show in my search history in work! I've realised I'm beyond vanilla! Thanks.

I had a quick discussion with the S&S mods. We don't want to have to make posters explain every acronym in every post, as that would disrupt flow, but we do understand that some help may be needed occasionally. So they've suggested to add a list of common acronyms in the Charter (or somewhere obvious).
