Get rid of post your... junk threads

[FlyingJesus]

The original post (and therefore whole thread) is pointless since it only allows for short answers. I don't know why you're trying to argue about the rules when you clearly don't even know them

[The Don]

Here are the rules

A7. Do not post pointlessly ~ ~ Do not post off-topic ~ An off-topic post has no relevance to the topic or any previous post that is relevant, or does little to positively contribute to the discussion.
~ Do not spam/make pointless posts. It is not allowed to post random, meaningless, posts or threads on the forum. Examples of this are (ROFLCOPTER!!!!!!); (BYRDSB +HKK; ) (I am a plane)
~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion. Repeatably posting short replies such as "Yes" or "Nope" is also forbidden. What is classed as pointless or abuse is entirely down to the discretion of the Forum Department.
~ You may not make posts that contain plain images only. Images that includes text are allowed so long as they are relevant to the threads discussion. This rule does not apply to the forum games or spam forums.

Considering some of those threads have been around for years it would be reasonable to assume that the forum department do not classify those threads as pointless.

wasnt that part of the rule added after the last debacle concerning these sorts of threads as a way for chris to deal with each thread at his own discretion and avoid conflict

That boldened part ought to be in the line above since that's the one about pointless posts. Saying "mods can decide if something is pointless" has no bearing on a totally separate rule about threads that only allow for short answers
ie

It was added, as Kyle mentioned, as a loophole to allow some of these threads to remain. Love how you say the rules are wrong when it was added specifically to allow exceptions to the short replies part which means it's in the correct place. But you clearly know better than the rules so whatever.

Think a better idea that adding a loophole would have been to actually deal with the situation tho.

Various people have posted in this thread on both sides, just because the people complaining are more vocal doesn't mean you're the majority.
