Short, "non-quality" posts?
There hasn't been mention of this as of late (as far as I know), but thought I'd revisit the issue:
Short, non-quality (type) posts can be important for at least acknowledging someone or more than one member.
What do you think?

In this regard (acknowledging a poster or agreeing/disagreeing with what they said), yes, it's not true. However, when the thread turns into a CHAT with posters just replying back and forth with a bunch of short, nonsensical stuff -- replying just for the sake of replying -- then "quality over quantity" becomes an issue.

Yes indeed... that is the "other regard."

No.
It's not true.
But in all fairness; members who post 1-4 words (at the bare minimum) to reply to a prior post really can't be adding anything to the discussion IMHO. Sure they may think they are trying to add some valuable content; but in all fairness, it's not helping the discussion at all.

I am trying to change my ways; as I realized that what I was doing is/was bad. I know that my habits in the old games forum were bad; that's why I drastically cut my posting there the past few months (except for the 500 post burst to get me past 30,000). Post count is not as big of a factor to me now as it used to be; that's another reason why I am posting less and less these days.
