I don't really enjoy how three letter posts are used freely around Pixel.

I dislike posts that say "Yeah" or "lol" or something like that...

Anyone else feel like this, or like using those types of posts?

They can be useful by giving a response to a question but they are annoying when they quote a long post and then add "ty"

And I mean, I guess Mattman has a point in which it's spam, or something useful.

Like the three-word story that we have going here. I don't necessarily think we have to stop that.

I'm just worried about spam and such.

lol






























No Im just joking, I dont necissarily think that allowing three letter posts is a bad thing, this forum doesn't seem to have a spam problem, I see no sense in changing the rules.

i dislike very short posts... and yes this is a forum
and not a chatroom.

but as long as they're relevant to the topic
i guess there's no violation on the person's part
who posted that.

id rather see a full sentence explaining why you just posted
instead of 'yeah'
you should have a 'yeah, because you need to add more words here to get a complete sentence.'

An example of how strict it was is I was once on a forum where you had to post 10 words or more or the post wouldnt be sent

The content of messages can't be accurately assessed with the number of words. A small minimum characters limit might work, but if it tries to force more than 1 sentence worth, you'll likely just create more fluff.

They are FREAKING annoyingg, because although they can be used for good uses (weird way to put it) like saying you agree with someone, but instead of being a sheep and follow that person I say you should say what you think aswell as agree

OH EMM GEE! Three word post! Terminate the terminator!

lol, I just noticed something.

Some of his quotes are "I'll be back"(Three words)

"Asta la vista, Baby"(Four words, but Asta la vista is something close to "good bye" which is two words! + Baby = THREE!)

and this one, "You've been erased"(liek omg three words(contractions don't count. =P))

lol. Yay for official-ness.

Oh come on. Some things only need three words to be said. Like if I just love everytthing about a certain piece, and see no flaws, I don't need to make a whole paragraph; I'd just type "very nice job" or "I love it." See my point?
