Yes thats ture but it has to be a good comment if its like this "i am doing this to get ArmorPoints" thats spam and sometimes comments under 7 words can be helpful aswell.

The spelling in this thread is atrocious. Maybe we should delete posts with bad grammar!

You know I was looking at this expecting a topic in three words and I was so disappointed about this that I had to double post just now. :/

Well you can look at the sticky that talks about spam, but spam isn't described well.

Yeah, it's tru,e under 7 word posts are spam. Is it just a coincidnce that the title of this topic has exactly 7 words?

Yes, under 7 words is spam. That doesn't mean that posts under 7 words are not helpful, though. Just most of them.

But if you go like 'Ok, I'll be right on it', that's six words, is it counted as spam?

The reason that we put a limit on it, is because you can't really say anything productive in less that 7 words.

You could say, "Okay, I'll be right on it. Is there anything else you need me to do for you?" or something like that.

"Game would improve, with better graphics".

So you see, it's not always the word count.

Anyone ever hear of less is more?

Maybe it doesn't apply to this but oh well

"Game would improve, with better graphics".

But it is just as easy to write 'This game could be improved upon if the quality of graphics was improved'.

As far as less is more... I don't think it is really too hard to come up with something longer than 7 words.

"Carlie, I am pregnant, getting abortion."

Less than seven words. Very productive!
