You'll be happy to know it's not.

I don't know you anymore...What happened to us?!
Maybe now I'll start posting more on my days off
This rep rule is bothering me now...(Mostly because of my quest to red rep)
I needed to wait to rep anyone, so I did, then I could only get two reps out there before I had to wait again, and it's been hours. It should be a by hour rule, instead of 24 hours.

You don't know her very well...
Back on-topic:
I've seen a lot of crappy posts tonight, but haven't been able to rep, due to the rep rules.
to those I did see red rep them. Due to the advice of an un-named person, I won't be posting any of the threads that I red rep in here anymore, as I'm sure you'll be able to find them on your own, and I really don't want to seem like I'm calling people out for their lack of intelligent discussion, when what I'm really trying to do, is encourage them to post a little better.

That's silly to me.
Have you seen some of these 1 sentence posts? Not only have the ceased to make a point, but they're becoming blatantly stupid. If we're going to keep the spam rules relaxed, then we should definitely relax the flaming rules, for the benefit of the regular posters.
"What about Shelton Benjamin, hes good, all he needs is a mouth piece" is a real post on this site. My response of "If anyone with a brain thought Shelton was good, he'd have the title after all these years. You obviously don't have a brain." should be allowed.
It states my point (Shelton isn't good), explains it (he hasn't held the title), and explains my view on the poster.
You mean like the spam rules?

The spam rule was relaxed so WZ would get more traffic. IF the regulars were alowed to flame these people that come on and post 1 liners then they wouldn't come back and that would defeat the purpose.
My goal is to hopefully encourage intelligent discussion with the red rep. My comments in the rep have not been flaming, and are mostly sarcastic. Except for one negative response, nothing bad has happened. I love that new posters are signing up, I keep repeating that. I just wish they'd sign up and contribute to the discussion. The ones that I've red repped, and seen others red rep, are on the wrong side of stupid. It doesn't take much to post a few sentences. Debate is fun, and flows much better if people present a decent argument.

any intelligent person doesn't care about rep
It's the only thing I can do, and I'm not the only one doing it...
Is it hard? No. Is it pointless? Possibly.
Why bother with pointlessness? For the illusion of quality, that may or may not exist?
Then why would we want them to post 4 stupid sentences? If one is bad, why would you want more? Posting more words isn't going to improve the quality of the post. That's what I've said for a while now.
People seem to think longer=higher quality. Looking around at posts made on the forum before the relaxed spam rule, I can tell you with certainty that it does not. The illusion of quality is not a substitute for quality.
To what end? There would be no purpose.
No it shouldn't, it has no place in the discussion.
If you do the first two, why do you need the last? If you defeat the other posters position, then you have already implied what you think of his brain. It's pointless, senseless and useless.
The problem here is not what they're contributing, but rather what YOU want them to contribute. It's akin to saying that Shawshank Redemption is a bad movie, because you don't think that Andy should have escaped clean and free. Injecting your personal beliefs upon quality is as silly as it is arrogant.
Which has nothing to do with quality of argument. You have to separate length and quality.
Agreed. But many people weren't doing that before the spam rule was relaxed, and I didn't see you complaining then. Your whole thing seems to be that length=quality, and the fact simply is that it does not.

Cunt.
The spam rules have just been reverted to how they were originally intended to be. We're still stricter than other forums, but I bet the majority of people on here have repeated themselves four times just to avoid an infraction. That's the sort of thing we're trying to avoid.

I am still saying no to one-line responses. They clutter up shit. I doubt many people will be able to make a point pertinent to the discussion with a one line response. No bullshit.
Spam. It was only one line long.
