TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I'm just going by common nomenclature. You absolutely can have it both ways, because I didn't name shit. I'm just going by the abbreviations they commonly hold.
Not a single Star Trek series is officially abbreviated with "ST" for "Star Trek" in the title. "They" never named it that.
But they aren't common nomenclature (as they're only used by people who are being disingenuous), they don't commonly hold (as they are not used by the studio, memory alpha, or really anyone in general other than trolls) and it doesn't fit with the naming scheme of the series. So, like I said, you can't have it both ways.
Yeah, I agree with you that anyone abbreviating Discovery as "STD" is doing it just to be obtuse. That said, the abbreviation rules aren't quite as consistent as I'd like.
There are two series which violate these rules.
To be fair, I never mentioned the abbreviation rules themselves, just the naming scheme of Star Trek shows. The addition of ST to any acronym does line up with that. However, I agree on the Discovery front I disagree on the Lower Decks one. I've never seen anyone call it LOW, it's always been referred to as LD.
Yeah, according to this, there is some inconsistency in how the abbreviations are done across various sites. Some use LOW, some use LD or LDS.
But, as you said, "ST" is never used as part of the abbreviation for a show, only movies.
Lower Decks is LOW officially? Never saw that before. Appropriately degrading, I suppose!
According to this, there is some inconsistency in how the abbreviations are done across various sites. Some use LOW, some use LD or LDS.
Yeah, fans will call it whatever they want. Never knew LOW was the official term, though. I like LD more.
Perhaps rule 2 is "If it's a spinoff whose subtitle contains at least 3 words". That would be consistent with the evidence.

The closest to "STD" was into darkness, which was STID
