I think there is a line between what is acceptable and what isn't. "GT" and the like are sort of givens which are not offensive and that everyone understands clearly - but they aren't encouraged. Slangish shortening of words and and shortening of proper nouns (i.e Countries) are not good as they are either racist, will not be picked up by translators for non English speaking members, or have a rather lazy, inproper air to them. These last two points probably the reason in this case.
Svendo_man: as you're new here (at least I think you are as that's what it says under your name), a word of advice - It's not a good idea to talk in such a bitey manner to a moderator - it's a bit like prodding a giant grizzly with a stick and it's not going to end in your favour. Yes, you may have the pleasure of proving them wrong, but it's going to end up back in your face, either from the moderators or normal users.
The moderators don't have evil intentions - they're here to ensure us members are not harrased, bullied, being racially abused and other sorts.
It might happen in other forums, but here we talk to each other with respect and lesser users with shorter tempers than the moderators would not answer your questions (if you have any) should you keep talking in that manner.
The fact that you posted on this thread just to harrass someone without saying anything about the original topic possibly says something about your intensions (correct me if I'm wrong by all means). If they make mistakes, they usually correct themselves as they have an extensive knowledge on what's acceptable and what isn't (I'm not even sure this rant is acceptable). They're only human, but they're damn fine at the job at hand.
Treat us how you'd like to be treated and welcome to the forum. Sorry I had to say that, but it needed saying. I hope this doesn't prevent you from posting in future.
