I don’t even know what to think about this one. I’m not angry, more confused than anything. There’s only one mod there so i asked them, and they said “It’s against policy. It’s the abbreviations policy.”

I see no such policy anywhere, so who knows what’s going on. Is it only the NYT that can’t be abbreviated? What about the US? Is LOL forbidden too? And if so, why are we forbidden from laughing there!

They didn’t even remove the comment.
The mod is user qrstuv. Maybe the only abbreviation allowed is when they say one? That’s a power trip!

    In this case it is also the first result for me, but it happens quiet often that that is not the case for everybody. Especially now more and more people are abandoning Google

        Often that is the case with abbreviations. Often it happens that there is a company with that name same thing with NYT B.V., but it’s almost non-existent so it doesn’t have a site. Or that something has a completely different meaning in another language which makes you get different results. It is more often than not that you can totally different results based on your location. Sometime some search engines give different results as well.
