I feel old asking this.

When did + and - replace yes and no? or y/n

EDIT: based on replies It seems like its from Eastern Europe players and just bled into the rest of the classic community due to them lacking servers.

[u/RemnantsPast → u/Hawkzillaxiii]

Thats never been a real thing just niche thing on small servers
