4. Do not make posts with one word in it.
it does seem a bit silly to be enforcing something like this, instead of filtering it into the shitposting rule
for example:
Alfred Dickfingers posts a thread for a TF2 trade
Tyrone Reddit asks in a post in that thread if he can alter the trade and lists specific items such as "Can I switch out so and so for this and that?"
Alfred Dickfingers replies to his post, either quoting his post or not, saying "Yes."
angry nazi admin steps in and gives poor alfred a 10% warning for a one word post
this sort of thing is really retarded, and should be filtered into the shitposting rule like stated earlier so you get warned for stuff like:
Same thread up to the question post.
Alfred Dickfingers replies to his post, "Niggers."
that would be obvious shitposting and be dealt with as such
-
It's because not all 1 word posts would be shitposting.
If you only have one word to post, you might as well post nothing as I can't think of a single example other than a few exceptions like yours that 1 single word can be an useful post.
And even in your example you can easily avoid the 1 word post rule. By instead just saying "yes" you can give it more effort: "Yeah sure, add me to steam so we can trade." or "No, how about this and this and that offer instead?"
However, if you REALLY want to so badly, we can alter the rule to something along the lines of:
"Don't post short useless things. If you have nothing useful to say, then it's better not to say anything."
-
Keep the rule the way it is. All you have to do in your situation is exactly this
"Yes
This is not a one word post"
Blam, you're done. I've done this in the past and I haven't gotten in trouble because it's not a one word post, and I answered whatever question it may be. The rule is fine as is, there's no reason to change it.
-
I think all that needs to be done regarding this issue is bitchslapping any administrator who'd issue a warning for a one-word though valid post.

if so, the rule would need rewording a little then
-
no
-
why not
-
no
That irony...

if we alter this rule 18 needs to be altered as well its basically the same thing

not really, quoting someone and not adding a single word onto it contributes nothing at all, and therefore would be considered shitposting or even postwhoring

It comes down to the same idea. 1 word posts contribute nothing (much) either and therefore would be considered postwhoring.
Yes I know what you are going to say: "but posting 'yes' to answer a question is contributing" but I already said how you can easily avoid that issue. And that way there are exceptions for EVERYTHING.
-
Somome said no so I bet ya if anyone changes it he'll just change it back.
No reason to alter the rule when you can do what I said earlier.
-
still really stupid to be nazi enforcing a one word post even if it contributes in a slight way
-
Currently, people just quote other people's text and leave one word replies and everyone gets away with it. If the rule isn't going to be enforced, there's no reason to have it.

Give me any example that isn't somone77 or roflwaffle.

I've seen Abbott and Cow both do it many times in the past. Can't find a specific example off the top of my head.

i haven't actually done it except in spam afaik and i haven't seen cow do it either
-
I hand out warnings for this sort of thing all the time. I don't understand where you are getting that people are getting away with this, unless posts are slipping under my radar.

Please provide me a link to a post where I have done that outside of spam. Please, go ahead, I'll give you all the time you want.

Guys prove I've ever done this. Pro-tip: you can't.
Seriously though, no bitch fest. There's no situation in which saying 'yes' or 'no' or 'this' in a post is adding to the discussion. If that's all you have to say, just shut up and move on.

no
Not sure if this was what you were referring to, but...
Still, single word posts are unnecessary. Is it that much effort to add at least one more word?
-
How about this:
no thankyou
yes please
no, dont
yes, do it
nope, i wont
sure, lets do it
yah, sounds good
i agree
i disagree
BLAM
None of them were one word posts yet they still let your point get across. Someone pls lock and move to denied.

yes
5% warning issued for single word posting. Developers are not exempted from the rules. ~Nick

Now ya see, if any regular member did that they'd get banned ;)

I don't see why it needs to be changed, if you have an opinion that's worth our time it's probably going to be more than one word, besides if you knew the rule was there and all you had to do was use an extra second to type in "I agree" or "I disagree" like Cow said, you would be fine, really it's more common sense.

why though, its much quicker and gets the exact same point across if i say "yes" or "no" compared to something like "Yes I agree" or "No I disagree"
EDIT: also, if members get punished for a one word post, why aren't admins/devs (apart from somone77 & roflwaffle) getting punished for it too, seems a bit odd to not enforce it on them but enforce it strictly on members
-
In all honestly it shouldn't even be this big of an issue, if the rule gets taken down or changed, awesome people can post one word replies,if not? They need to spend an extra two seconds on making it prettier, I say just leave it up Rofl with what we already have, either way there can't be THAT MUCH civil upheaval.

HAH
Wow
The developers finally got in trouble
I legit laughed when I saw nick gave them the warning
Any hooters, I don't think this thread is going anywhere. So far the people whom have the power to change this have said no, so I don't see how this is going to end up anywhere but denied.
