Awesome, maybe it could get stickied if updates where added until perfected?
Oh also, if you could add- Imho (i always see omni say this!) and imo too.. that'd be awesome.

Added them both.
And I'm not really aiming to get this stickied, just to help out other members. Also, I don't think this can be perfected since there are new words and phrases made up on here at a steady rate so I will always have to keep on improving this thread to keep up with the times.

Added this even though anyone that uses a forum knows what a thread is.
I also removed the "Reason" part of the form since no one seems to like it.

Hoping I got this one right, been seeing it quite frequently in posts and took me sometime to figure this one out. Not really good with these acronyms.

Might be a stupid question but I'll shoot it anyway:
What does SST and NFA stand for? (as in SST and NFA threads)

NFA means Non-Free Accounts. I'm not sure about SST though.
I'll add NFA to the thread.
