This is already established in our Rules of Conduct, but I want to emphasize the point a bit:

Please avoid extremely short responses such as "Thank you!" and "I hope so." It doesn't really add anything to the thread other than an extra post to sift through. ;) Try including something in addition to that. If you have nothing else to say at the time, perhaps responding when you do would be best.

Thanks. :cool:

I'm glad your saying something about this, even though it's not a big deal I even find it slightly annoying reading posts like 'Me too' or 'I agree'. This isn't a contest on post count. I know this forum is still rather small but I don't see a need in those little posts. There is almost 300 posts altogether on here, last time I checked, and half of those posts are by 3 people (not that there is anything wrong with that).

I was just going to post 'I agree' to this but you see what I did there? I added my opinion too. Anyways thanks Eorzea and keep up the good work.

:exclamation:*****Edit to add the fact of trying to avoid walls of text, they are just as bad as one word posts. Make your posts pretty, so my eyes do not bleed*****:idea:

I feel as if everyone is staring at me.

Haha just kidding, you all love my posts!

So far things haven't been too bad. Eor is keeping this forum clean and awesome, that's why our numbers have been going up the last few days.

I just saw this thread so if I already made some *extremely short responses I'll make sure I put more into it in the future. I don't think I did expect maybe a short hi to someone but I understand what you are mean here and it makes perfect sense.

No worries, your posts have been fine! The two exceptions to this rule are the "Introductions" section and the "Casual Chat" section because they are a bit more laid back and posts don't count towards your total.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this topic and leave a comment!

Really glad you've said about this point again as i've seen a few short responses and it will gets me annoyed because I haven't got a clue what they are talking about if they put something like..."I don't believe"..or "I agree"...theres been about 15 replies before what the heck are you disagreeing or agreeing to lol. :huh:

That's the kind of stuff we don't need, joke or not. ;)
Unless it's in the "Casual Chat" section, of course!

I realize this thread is old, but with all of our new members recently I think it deserves a bit of attention again. I have been seeing more and more really short responses recently. This is just a reminder.

Not all responses have to be long, but I don't want to see these kinds of responses:

"lol that's so cool"
"nice pictures"
"i like chocobos"
"miqo'te"

You get the idea. ;)

That's not to say the occasional off-topic joke or comment within a thread isn't OK, though. It's fine. I just don't want that to be 90% of what you post.

Please add something to the conversation!

I don't want to have to read through those sorts of posts to get to the stuff of substance. I also don't wish to overly moderate people, so if you can avoid making such posts I can avoid having to clean things up so often.

Thank you.


P.S. There have been quite a few double posts as well. Please use the "Edit" button if you forget to say something. Also search whether or not a similar thread already exists before creating a new one.
These two points are a bit off topic, but I thought they deserved mention.

Yes go Eor. I swear man you are the best Admin I have ever seen other then the fact I can't :onion114: but it's ok because I know what you want the board to be like. Any who I everyone listens because good posts is what made this site grow from a hand full of us to where we are today. I was one of the first members here and have watched the place grow. It has been a success and I'm proud to be part of this community and to have met so many friends on here. You guys own. Can't wait to see you all in XIV.
