Yeah that rule makes the same rule clearer. No change.

[Hecktix]

which reduces discussion because no everyones gunna post if you have to have substance......
it doesnt even seem like you're changing anything other than the name to me lol :S

I will look at what I can do although we don't want spam, but we do want discussion. I will change the rule how I think that it will allow more discussion (i.e. going slightly off topic) and perhaps allow briefer posts, but not things like LOL etc.

Yeah, sounds good, we don't want things like lol or even cool but I want to be able to have ever so slightly off topic posts within threads without being penalised.

[hah]

like i already said ;l lol

scrap that pointless posting rule and only count it as things like "dsjfldjsfodsjflsdfjsdlfjlsd;frlkds;f,sdlfmds"

and add something like

"please add more content to your post" for posts like "lmaooooooo or lol"
i dont post in most threads because chances are it might be off topic

I thought the rule was you're allowed to post something non-related to what the thread started said, so long as what you're saying relates to the post you're quoting. If this is so what's wrong with that?

I think that is what it used to be.

Why was that changed, then?

It hasnt been changed...

A pointless post has no relevance to the topic, any previous post that is relevant

To me that says a pointless post has no relevance to the topic, or any previous post, meaning that if it doesn't have relevance to the topic it must have relevance to another previous post!

I will add the "or" though if you think it's needed.

[Nixt]

When did that actually change because I always thought that providing it stayed on topic within a post in the thread, it was fine. Or am I being stupid?

So then why can't the rule on pointless posting be amended to what Cat suggested, and Jake, discussions can still spark other discussions in the same thread.
