Magic: The Gathering (colloquially known as Magic or MTG) is a tabletop and digital collectible card game created by Richard Garfield.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic:_The_Gathering

Which MTG?
A few users quickly jumped on the brouhaha, and @katProundmoore posted, "at first glance i thought
AOC meant 'magic the gathering' and i was like what did the card game do to deserve this"


Don't let right wing lady redefine words.
MTG is an always will be Magic the Gathering.

If you want to make a topic not talking about the cards do not put MTG in the title.

I understand the joke you are trying but I will just make it clear continuing to do this in topics that are clearly not about Magic the Gathering will likely result in you continuing to get moderated for disruptive/derailing threads.

Miss green isn't somebody worth letting change the meaning of MTG. It should be considered baiting to put MTG in the title and not talk about the card game.

Think if some right winger was named Westerfield Ottersville Wenton and people made WoW threads and you mod people for talking about WoW.
Maybe don't use the acronym that existed since 2004 to refer to a game on a video game website?

MTG has been around and called MTG since 1996

Normally I don't get modded and gave up caring about these rules long ago, but this one is just stupid. Majorlie Taylor Green theads aren't sacred and they are using a 30 year old acronym nearly everyone here recognizes. So this one grinds my gears

I will abide, but this is stupid and surely you will be fair and mod people for talking about her in MTG card game threads?

Yes?
hmm?

Acronyms can mean more than one thing. Lol can be laugh out loud, but it can also mean League of Legends.

Normally the context lets you know what the acronym stands for.

In what context would a card game be considered relevant when it comes to impacting the salary of someone working for the department of defense?

I get it, when she first got into office, it used to annoy me how often I'd see "MTG" in topic title and it wasn't about Magic.

But once you open the topic, it's usually clear from the opening post which MTG it's about. So fair next for getting moderated for that

I don't think most people would try to derail it with many posts talking about R-GA MTG if the topic was legitimately about Magic the Gathering. This is indeed a weird hill to die on.

I think the initial joke was fine, the problem is he kept making posts that had nothing to do with the actual subject. That would certainly count as derailing.

I was tempted to ask DToast about my recent moderation over on the PlayStation board, but decided against it since while I think the punishment was a bit harsh for what I did, Ill wait my two weeks to get it expunged from my record like a good boy.

A long time ago there was a feature that let the users look at moderated messages and decide if the penalty was appropriate. Unfortunately most people just used it to look for funny moderations and repost the best ones (while the rest would give really shitty feedback because they wanted to spite the mods).
