¿Question #3618?
Randy Cox: Do you think Aldie and Derk should deduct one GeekGold from a person's account every time they use silly Internet-inspired shorthand (like OMG, WTF, FYI, ROFLMAO,...) and deactivate their account when they get to -100?

BOBBYCAN: Kill them all, let God sort them out.
Woelf: This counts as -4 for you.
Shleeg: Yeah totally man, i hear ya!! damn those kids and their ultra specialized internet shorthand, and their websites that they spend a ton of time on....... where they asks thousands of fucking questions to strangers. damn them.
kathleenryan: OMG I hope not!
pwilz: If there were any justice in the world. Uh-oh.
Blott: QFT
DaGen: zomg no! wtf? ru .. OMG??? FU!
hakthir: OMG, No but they should deactivate the accounts of people that are worried about internet shorthand. (FYY BGG is on the internet so WTF is wrong with using the shorthand here?) ROFL
taurus: Y not.
Fairer Sex: TLDR

DoctorJ: Yes, IMHO.
hob69: I think a system like that would be great in World of Warcraft. I'd love if people lost in-game gold for using FFS and WTF in battlegrounds.
Hendal: OMG No,
Phil Fleischmann: For ROFL and LOL, definitely. For OMG, maybe. But not for many others that are more useful and meaningful, like FYI, BTW, OTOH, AFAIK, and FOWTOSF. But a far greater offense would be using 3's for E's, and 1's for !'s, etc.
krainer: No, IMHO.
cgund: no
WalkerRedEye: lol ye gods no! cos tehn there will be a grammer crack down and then a spelling one and id be out 4 times over , and member peopel GRAMMER IS FOR THE WEAK!
TheKeck: Perhaps.
foxxdye: wtf bro?
ecobot3001: no never instead they should give one gold hint hint jk lol omg gj ttyl
mentis: Get with it, Randy. Learn some nice abbreviations. That will allow you to more quickly post. If you would simply UMA then you would save a lot of time. I even use CAFMO in email at work and all HALI that can't FAM aren't worth the time. WCIS, TIJWYN MFB.
DHEK: No. What would be the point of doing that?!
.JcK.: OMG, RUK? NWM!
aleo09: no way
seppo21: The only piece of internet language that just rubs me the wrong way is people using loose for lose. Oh, and not using capital letters.
PsyJam: No, like it or not, those shorthand things are here to stay.. it's not worth policing. BUT, you can definately feel free to slap someone when they actually SAY these things out loud. .. "Hey, isn't that your ex-girlfriend holding hands with that other woman?" ... "Yeah .. W T F ?" .. *smack* ! .. yeah, i hate that stuff
HBGlover: Hell yes. I can't stand that crap.
vampywife: no, besides, FYI is not internet based.
greglios: Yes. Lazy people.
tdabomb: na
AngieBaby: no
ZiNOS: NO Are u cr@z1 m8?
Nekura: WTF? IMHO, that would be a pretty dumb idea. OTOH, it would make the site more approachable for non-geeks. Oh, wait - that's the target audience! LOL - NM!
Dorque: Yup.
jasta6: IMHO no!.........................................................................................
Mordachai: Let's see, that would be -4 GG for you? Sure, why not.
chesrcat: no - shorthand can be useful imho
TMJJS: no
hacksword: JAHOYFT
Loquutus: Tht's 4 GG from Mr. Cox...
brainrob: No
bigbadsteve: sure, why not?
_Kael_: No, no, no, plzzzz no. Whaaaaa [insert flushing sound]
POvidiusNaso: Sure. I don't use 'em.
Odat: Well.. maybe for ROFLMAO...
javelin98: W00t! 1337 h4xx0rs d0n'7 n33d G33kG31d!!! Pwned!!! (God, I hate that leet-speak...)
dave45: You are down by 4 GG already
Tamsmo: Yes, some of us do not know what those mean.
ZombyDawg: WTF?
Yollege: No
JimPAX: And I suppose you would like to be the gestapo head that would bring these infractions to their attention? Shut up, douche.
dakarp: No.
axarca: Indeed
BaSL: no, but we should get a list of those; I don't understand half
djlg: No
Dante_Cubit: FIIK
mrbeankc: no
Randy Cox: Good idea, Randy.
Mikebegeta: yes
Topdecker: You are now at -4.
Kaladon: no
jellospike: They should give me the GG
skrutsch: just for the ones I hate
Lord_Prussian: No
jttm: omg n00b! wtf? fyi i'm rotfl....
CherryPie: No.
ssmooth: No... honestly, we see lots worse around here.
louiseh: No. I think people ought to be less prescriptive.
puffinge: NO, I think they should deduct a GG whenever someone acts grumpy or curmudgeonly and complains about acronyms or leetspeak. Next thing you know, you'll be claiming you own no DVD's.
Spielfreak: no. It'd be too difficult and tedious to implement.
chaddyboy_2000: No.
skelebone: I think you owe four for that one. I'm serving as cashier, so just send it to me.
heli: nah
CDRodeffer: No, that would be cruel and unusual, even for Texans.
CortexBomb: I would be in favour of it
