ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hey! I thought that it'd be quite cool if DG managed to implement 'official' abbreviations of races, classes, difficulties, modes. So that Character Reports subforum posts would look like this:

NADO | 1W, Atamathoned

And we could see that it's Normal Adventure Dwarf Oozemancer and after the pipe | optional info, such as 1st win, Atamathoned, for example; just it would be 1337, I think! Also, formalization is always good.
The subject should be thought about, of course, cause there are terms which would repeat the letters.
I'd like if it was implemented right into the game, I mean, new game screen, 'c' button screen, etc.

What do you think, guys?

No offense, or anything, but to me that sounds like a totally horrible idea. I hate abbreviations, in everything.

I don't agree with 'official' abbreviations. We'll see a surge of threads from people new to an already challenging and, at times, confusing game, having to figure out the meaning of these abbreviations, most of them regarding races, classes, and parts of the game that they didn't know existed.
