my threads that were only one word answers were moved to spam. some of those should be too.

Discuss Anything should be for proper discussions, never for short ones like "Yes I use Google.".

I would have thought a thread about search engines would be in "Technology & the Web"

After looking on the first page of 'Discuss Anything' I'm quite pleased with some of the discussions occurring - in comparison to threads posted in recent weeks.

Your thread about gun laws interested me quite a bit, I even wrote quite a long reply then got an internal 500

I've just edited all the threads posted in the tech section which could be answered with one word and asked for people to explain their answers - however it appears that a good number of our tech users are quite mature and exampes set by MattGarner, Recursion, Preposterous and the OP himself have all posted longer answers than simple one words - so as long as every post isn't going to be a one word answer I don't see a huge problem

It was just an example Mr. FM as there have been similar ones to that

Tbh most the post your threads, apart from 'setup' and 'desktop' are crap. I subscribe to all threads automatically, and posting in these is annoying, the fact that most the time there is NO discussion whatsoever, which kind of ruins the point in a forum. People literally go in post 'yes pasta is good' then never post again. Imo that is verging on pointless - afterall you are/were not allowed to say 'yeh nice update' or something, as that would be seen as pointless.

I mean this doesn't particularly bother me, as they are just threads, but I do think many of them are pointless.

How about introducing some rules which forbid 'limited discussion' threads unless stated otherwise. That's bringing back an old rule almost I know, but just a suggestion.

I just feel that's a bit too harsh - we like to be lenient in our moderation and practically telling people they can't post posts shorter than X, it's just too much for my liking if you get me?

[Luke]

Well not posts shorter that 'X' but threads which encourage short posting. (Examples in Tech forum where it's post your search engine) Most answers are 'google'.
