[b]What's the poker forum protocol here?[/b]

I enjoy the posts in general, but have one issue i've noticed in enough posts now (not trying to be specific about any post, person, or thread) that I need to ask about.

Why is it that poker posters who are delving into the details of bankroll management strategy opinions as well as their own game playing histories and are usually so specific, so often say things like "I was playing 1nl"

In enough posts I have seen, even the context does not make it entirely clear, to me at least, which game you're talking about?

When only one number is specified, is that supposed to be the big blind?  I see enough posts where some people are talkin cents and others are talkin dollars so even seeing 1nl in some peoples post it seems they are talkin penny games which would make their number the small blind.

While others are talkin dollars... Still is  1nl short for .50/1 or $1/2 ?  What is the forum protocol here? I see a distinct lack of either decimals, symbols, or abbreviations that would make it clearer, as well as the one number format as opposed to two.

I think it's quite confusing because there is such a large number of penny players, but probably a decent number of dollar players who participate in forums.

Sorry i'm rather new to the forum, so it would help if someone clarified this for me.

Thanks!
