The best one in the works relates to shopping, Captain Hook and knitting, but the graphics are two magnitudes more complicated than the statement. The solution is at that magnitude between.
Should just try it here. My favorite test subject solved it with lateral-thinking that doesn't count.
Suppose you're carrying a shopping bag (loop) in each hook/hand (knitting needle).
How many steps does it take to swap those bags (loops)?
(In a posted puzzle, "steps" would be rigorously defined but, here, I'll dicker.)
(A couple of lines back, you're not allowed to use separate fingers. If nobody answers here this'll still become a posted puzzle but I'm getting lazy.)

I think Mod pins are higher pin-weight, so if you ever pinned the explanatory text it would win over RO pins. now that all the ROs are Mods, time-order wins for weight.

It's always up to the setter, at least to a certain extent. I don't think it's an established use and I wouldn't want to use it in my own clues.
(I think Rubio wouldn't use it either. Abbreviations can be tricky. For example I think that Techidiot gets away with "less than or equal" = LE in a community where the use of MathJax (\le) is widespread, but it wouldn't do for a more general audience.)
All that waffle above is of course just a convoluted way of saying no, it's not allowed.
Everything about that puzzle and solution is bad. I'm actually disappointed JMP answered it at all, let alone by amping the fail up to 11 by copypastaing the answer from the same site as the puzzle.
The swap puzzle
Place small coins heads up on the squares marked H and tails up on the squares marked T.
Swap the positions of the Heads for the Tails in as few moves as possible.
There are two ways to move a piece:
Move left or right to an adjacent empty square
Jump over a single adjacent pi...
Could be a grandfather clock, or Big Ben, or any of a number of other good alternatives. All fit, none so much better that the others are clearly inferior.

I tried to get some semblance of formatting into that line of code but I got lost in the middle of it
but what it does is it takes a list of articles (like "the a an of") and a movie name (like "lord of the rings") and produces an abbreviation "LotR"
@Wen1now , I have scars to show what a certain alley cat used to think of me. Now the little lion curls up under my nose when I try to sleep. (Guess that's more related to resolutions than solutions or puzzles.)
Think my alley cat has used up most of the allotted lives. Every day the dinger-danger comes in the back door to mark/scratch/name-it on the way out the front door to wake everyone up with another howling fight.
I've just gotta give up and stop fighting cats in the front yard one of these days!
(Purposely ambiguous. Signed -- cat lover not fighter)
I call my favorite "Butter," but not because he looks delicious.
Also call my favorite "Header." Put those words together and you have a cat who thinks (?) they can get out of anything via their brow and a veterinarian.
(For anyone with a doubt, yes cats think. I've followed a kitten from outsmarting me to knowing more than me. They just don't know how to explain what they know.)
@MOehm You should try it! Sure, it's possible that you wouldn't like it, but there's no harm in trying once, right? (Of course, you don't have to if you don't want - nothing wrong with that.)
@Sid No, that's the bed - look at the table's shadow. There's only one light in that room.

Imgur mazes are not fun because there's no confirmation of your answers. One mistake can't be corrected (like it could if, say, your answer was a word) - you just have to guess at which one was wrong.
@Deusovi , you are the most interesting combination of do and don't I've encountered. Sometimes you allow, sometimes you don't, sometimes you will, sometimes you won't. Wish I could see what you just didn't.
(now that I think about it it wouldn't be that hard to combine 5+ Nikoli grid deductions - it just wouldn't be very nice and it's hard to beat The Witness in the "grid deductions with lots of mechanics" category)
