One/two worded replies = pointless post?

Ok so firstly, I just want to say I don't mean to be rude to the moderator who dealt with this or to any of the people I mention or quote, I'm just questioning the rule in general :P. If you look at these two posts here:

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=777909&p=7908223#post7908223 @Hayden; asked

Oh are the adults still behaving like children

I replied

yep.

But I've been told that it's pointless, because most one/two worded replies are pointless. However, I just answered someone elses question and I personally don't feel that it is pointless. If I was to say, 'yep, they still are' - would that still have been edited as pointless? It doesn't change the meaning of my post at all, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been deemed pointless.

Now I also looked through the same thread, and found five other one-worded posts in the same thread which were not edited as pointless (because the majority of them aren't) and three of them are even pretty much identical to my post :P.

So yeah, just wondering how mine is pointless :).

@Lee; making a bad decision again

I suspect it was a rhetorical question.

Yeah I was going to post another complaint about how I was previously told an image that has words on it is not pointless, yet these ones have been deemed pointless:

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...00#post7906200

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...32#post7906632

Whereas the one I complained about a while ago was apparently not.
This one:

Sorry @David; but you said the 'hi' part is irrelevant as the member was banned, but then I was told your image was not pointless because it has some text on it.

Because despite the fact they have words on them the words are still offtopic.

I know, but I was previously told that pictures with text on them are not pointless :P. See my edit above ^

Right, they weren't deemed pointless. They were deemed offtopic.

So are you saying the pot and kettle one is on topic? I saw nothing in the thread about kettles.. or pots.

What you posted isn't pointless because you answered a question. I'll sort it out for you in a moment.

Right, it wasn't pointless because it had text on it. And it wasn't off topic because the text in the image was on topic.

I wasn't told it was because of what the text actually said, but just because it had some text on it. Because in my complaint I showed two images which were dealt with as pointless, but those two had no text on them.

Perhaps the moderator was just unclear?
