    It seems like Cuck Lives Matter after all.

    Other alternative meanings:

    • PTB: Poorly Timed Boner
    • BPR: Ball Punch Recipient

    I wasn’t active on the AITA like subreddits, I only wandered there from r/all, and usually saw there only 2 acronyms: NTA and YTA or something like that. Maybe they had other ones, but the vast majority were these 2. And without proper knowledge it was clear, that they basically mean Yes and No. Here it’s not really straightforward, and not everyone uses them yet.

    I’m not against communities having borderline annoying and stupid rules, it’s just early yet, with few subscribers and most of the comments don’t use them. E.g. it should be a rule that all top level comments should start with these acronyms, I’m pretty sure everyone would learn these things quickly. On the aforlinked post from yesterday, only one of these were used, so I didn’t even expect it should be some local specific thing. If every second comment contained CLM,I would have figured out something special going on here, CLM is not just about the Cucks

      Seems like a quite coercive approach. I’m not the mod, but from what I got from their previous comments, the acronyms are more here as guidance than mandatory. It would be quite cumbersome to force people to use them, and probably do more harm than good for the growth of the community.
