      @AlexanderThrond Personally I think it's fine in forum post as long as the abbreviation is explained/glossed the first time it is used, though I can understand why you wouldn't like it. Personally, it just really doesn't bother me as long as the person explains it the first time they use it in their post plus which tv show it belongs to, though that's just personal preference. Also, I'd kind of expect it the opposite way around because forum and social media posts are a lot more casual than article and blog posts were you'd expect it to flow well and I suppose to be more "professional" to an extent. An abbreviation would work less well in those scenarios in my opinion compared to a forum or blog post.

      I sometimes jump into a forum thread without reading the earliest replies, which would deprive me of some context. I think in journalism and academia you're supposed to use shortened titles, for instance: "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" --> "Lost Mark" rather than "CotLM," which is just confusing. But you can usually expect someone to have read all the preceding sentences in those cases.
