All of it. I hate it. It is lazy anywhere except in that context and I am not sure I like it even there.
I'm partial to a wee "LOL" now and again. It has become a word that is used in place of actually laughing out loud and I find that really interesting. Language is an incredible thing and I find it fascinating to watch it evolve. I don't like to put restrictions on what people can do with language - it's important to have fun.
That said, there's a time and a place. The purpose of language is communication and when you're writing a story, you want your writing to come across as clearly as possible to as many people as possible. It's not some cool, modern age thing to write in a "hip" way; it's just being an idiot. Don't do it.

In lieu (lol, lieu) of some issues that I have been dealing with lately and the quick and cheery responses I've received, I thought it'd be a nice gesture to tell the mods just how much I appreciate them, even the ones I've never interacted with directly.
"In lieu of..." = In place of...
I think you perhaps meant, "In light of...", although I could be wrong.
Lovely sentiment. Becoming a story verifier has been eye-opening in terms of what moderators actually deal with. You're very sweet to give them (us) recognition.

Not saying that you don't deserve credit, but there are volunteers here who edit stories (note the plural) around the clock. I've not once read a single story that included a note in it thanking the verifier for reading/tweaking/proofing/approving their stories. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Hear, hear!
It would be a nice gesture but I don't think you should expect it. Editors are often unsung heroes; you just gotta live with it, knowing in your heart that you did a nice thing for someone who needed the help.

Oh yes, I think I would. It would be nice to know how the guys feel, it would be nice to fuck some bitch just to fuck and not care what happened after, It would be nice to brag how big I am, even if it is not true.
What a truly horrific and offensive thing to say. Sexism at its ugliest.
