Tbh I think it should only be deemed "pointless" (any post) as long as it's completely irrelevant to the thread at hand.
So posting "Dinner" in the thread about food would be fine.
Tom's post about correcting the thread title would be fine.
Phil's post referring to an ambulance in a thread concerning ambulances would be fine.
But if I posted something like
Chicken
in the "what are you wearing right now" thread, then that would be pointless. Otherwise I think everything else (even "dinner" no matter how broad it is) shouldn't warrant any warning as it is quite clear some people do have stigma attached to them and can get pointless post for anything, that someone else might not.

Didn't even notice that the date on the rules had changed.
@Chris;

This thread says:
This rule is different from the one in the rules. The rules state that if a thread can ONLY give short replies, it gets moved. Your new rule in the announcement says if ANY thread CAN be answered with a short reply, it gets moved...So to be clear, from now on we will be:
•Moving any threads that allow for one or two worded replies to spam. If you disagree with a thread being moved then please contact me via PM.
If the new rule is the case, you best get moving many, many, many threads.
i can answer anything with one word... try me
i used to put the names of my favourite singers here... then i realised nobody cared
They have been changed further since that announcement but I assume an announcement wasn't posted due to the small changes, however, these small changes mean big things for pointless posts (like the one word thing being changed slightly).This rule is different from the one in the rules. The rules state that if a thread can ONLY give short replies, it gets moved. Your new rule in the announcement says if ANY thread CAN be answered with a short reply, it gets moved...
If the new rule is the case, you best get moving many, many, many threads.
The rule needs to be re-done, make sure everyone is CRYSTAL CLEAR and then post an announcement. Moderator discretion isn't enough in this case because of how much this rule is broken
I'm just going on what would have been deemed pointless before, and that would have.No it's not unless topics now need to strictly adhere to the title, which is quite frankly ridiculous when said topic title is so specific. Someone took the thread title and posted about it on the general theme to which Phil replied. That's not off topic, that's called discussion. If discussion is actually generated, threads evolve out of their beginnings into something new. This is why most spam threads are actually interesting because there is more freedom to bounce from one topic to another.
