It's a matter of common courtesy and netiquette. Especially when dealing with
an international list.

It's a simple fact that the admin have asked something be done in regards to
posting guidelines. That should be all.

Ebonix, Warez SPeeK, whatever the lingo of the month is, doesn't have a place
when posting to SRCard. We have enough of our own accepted abreviations and
acronyms if someone wants to be colorful and cool in their postings: IOW, BTW,
FWIW, IIRC, FYI, LOL, ROTFL, ...

Not to mention, SRTCG and FASA specific ones: DLOH, LotI, GAQS, LotP, CtH,
RBT, ...

It's an argument that was brought up on the list before, within it's first
week, and it's one that won't be won. (IIRC the perp of that incident got
himself banned.) Stick to plain old english, with the usual netiquette/SRTCG
acronyms and you can't go wrong.

Welcome to the 6th World. Play nice.
