Currently we have a 1 word post rule which applies to all sections except the red carpet / introductions section. I would like to suggest expanding this to multiple different sections of the forums. Sometimes a simple "congratulations" or "nice", etc. would suffice. There isn't a need to add random mumbo jumbo just in order not to get an infraction. 

 

I understand the need for more than 1 word replies in suggestions, etc. however, on many other sections of the forums this rule isn't important. 

 

You can get a warning for saying "Congratulations :)." while saying "haha gz" is fine. This makes absolute no sense.

Agreed, expand the exceptions for this rule to more sections please!

 

SUPPORT

No support it reduces the integrity of people post hunting, It devalues alot of awards.

Support from me, i once got a warning for saying "Poggers" in a post. Which to me didn't feel right (i understand its a rule but i don't think it's worth having it)

[Iron Stylez]

Support from me. If got a warning for the samething and i found it kinda annoying.

[Sassafras]

I don't support this, as I imagine we'd see a lot more low-effort posts on the forums. Also, do you mind telling us which specific forums sections you would want this suggestion to apply to?

[ROCAINE]

support, that rule always been retarded af....

[MT]

No support, I’m sure you folks can come up with more than one word to use for your posts.

[Nser664]

No support, this rule prevents a huge amount of useless comments and spam happening on topics.

No support, if just saying "congrats" rather than "haha gz" just type the haha gz lol. The one word post restriction is in place for a reason and it's serving it's purpose very well for the time being. Sorry, just add more to your posts/comments!

I support this if in the sections of Introductions/Farewells / Goals & Achievements had less of an effect on this rule. There's little to no difference in saying "Welcome" or "Hi welcome." or saying "Congratulations" or "Gz man" - But that extra 2 letters make's a huge difference apparently. 

 

PM'd a few people on the forums who I've noticed only posted one word in their replies and shot them a private message so they could edit their post and add in an extra word so they can avoid being warned for it.

 

I believe it also comes down on how often a person is using one word replies. If they are going around on every post just simply putting one word for post count, then that should be fair game for a staff member to warn him about it, but if they are just simply replying with one word, because in some cases there's just nothing else more to say, then I believe that should be ok. We're a forum for a RSPS, we don't need super high quality forum replies in every situation, as long as we're enjoying the forum and using it, it shouldn't be a problem.

 

If "post count farming" is the issue, remove it from the postbit. Or as Code said, it reduces the integrity of people farming their post count already for awards or whatnot, in which I feel like it shouldn't make much of a difference, you can already just spam all the achievements with "gz dude" and all the suggestions with an "I support" No support" reply in which is nearly the same as just a one worded.
