[PSA/Article] A reminder for everyone: Please don't use abbrevations when talking about vendors.

The reddit search function is a very important tool for buyers when doing our research while looking for new vendors. While some abbrevations might be obvious as to what they mean, the vendor won't show up on a search.

So please, let's make an effort as a community.

Along the same lines: please spell the vendor's name the same way they spell it on their markets. A reddit search for TheLemonadeStand will come up with different results than a search for The Lemonade Stand.

Definitely need to spell the name out in the title. After that I think it is fine to abbreviate.

Sometimes this backfires though.

I just posted a review for EastCoastCollective, and any time I would post the review with the full name in the title, it would get spam filtered out and never show up in the queue. I changed it to ECC in the title, and now it's showing up.

I did spell out the entire name in the post itself, so hopefully it'll still be searchable and helpful.
