discussion Please for the love of all that is pervy. Can we all stop speaking in abbreviations

Wouldn't it be better to make it easy to link to a game page by just typing some code with a prefix, like $tg or &tg, similarly to @ for users. That could trigger a search and have the forum system automatically provide the full name and link?
This could be automated by providing an auto-complete style popup with the search results of all games that match that abbreviation, or automatically pick it if there is only one match.

It would have the following benefits:

• For posters, it's almost as fast as just typing the game abbreviation, while providing verification that the title is correct.
• For readers, it provides a direct link to go check out the game, making the forum more enjoyable to visit.
• To obfuscate Games+ content, links to Game+ pages could automatically be redacted when displayed to visitors that do not have Game+ access, making it impossible to know which game the others are talking about, and preventing them from grabbing information to report to hosting company.

Or people could just type things out and not make devs do dumb work

It's funny when people talk about the games they like and how other people should play them, but only speak in abbreviations

Heh.. what if the games name is an acronym?

 

[whydoineedto]

"WVM" is the one I have never been able to find an answer to.

All people have said when I have asked over the last 1-2 years is, "It is the name of the game.", and/or "It is the name of the School in the Game.", but that is all!

So, if anyone knows what "WVM" stands for regarding that Game, please let me know.

It is literally the name of the game. Just search it like that.

Come one people.
Like the topic says : No more abbreviations for game titles
If you do, you know you are either gonna be asked what it stands for or nobody replies because we don't wanna go on a holy quest to figure it out.
So no more shit like: osil hsoa fin tdp pf tg tgif dmd CL <--- Specially for RIC0H
Not everybody is a prev game name connoisseur.
Specially when people ask for recommendations of games to play and you guys just seem to throw out random abbreviations ( It does make me laugh but still )

So please for all that is perverted,,, just stop.

finally!! someone said it.

You're right, it pisses me off too. Sometimes you read and don't understand what the hell they're talking about.
