... No, it's just pathetic that people clutter up the forum with meaningless replies.
Define meaningless please. things that add nothing to the discussion. If all you're doing is making one liners like the ones I mentioned, you're not contributing to the discussion. Pardon me but you actually responded with a one line answer to my request, I don't really know if you're seeing it as one liner but with my screen resolution of 1680x1050 pixels I do, and is not really adding nothing of importance to our discussion or defining the term "meaningless". About the oneliners, you can actually take any example you gave previously and you will realize people are able communicate efficiently, with their desires or thoughts, without spending a great deal of time on the language part (protocol). My advice to you would be to develop affinity for people with great communication skills and start ignoring the ones that make a habit on posting low quality content, they will never get the hang of it but there are some exceptions of course. I could keep babbling like this for a while but I guess you have better things to do and bigger fish to fry, so yeah why not ban you for posts like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77181.msg857649#msg857649https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74375.msg857668#msg857668https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141795.msg1512290#msg1512290https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=143763.msg1524490#msg1524490https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=142104.msg1524768#msg1524768https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177991.msg1878169#msg1878169There are many more here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=5797;sa=showPosts

Besides the obvious ad hominem, your lack of reading comprehension is appalling. If all you're doing is making one liners like the ones I mentioned, you're not contributing to the discussion. In case if you're too dense to know what I'm referencing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181885.msg1898778#msg1898778edit: removed duplicate quotes

I'm going to try and start cracking down on spam a little more... there's just so much of it.
^^^ This. +1 (Sorry, had to. )If you really want to stop the pointless mini-responses, add ratings for comments like Reddit and pretty much every other social network site in the universe and pretty much all modern forums have. When you upvote a comment, you won't *need* to respond to it. ^^^ This, +2. A karma system is the only thing that can save us from the Eternal September that is coming. If you think it's bad now, you have a big shock coming. It will never get this good again. You will look back on the noise & spam we have now with dewy-eyed nostalgia.

It's not about restricting free speech. If you (don't) support someone, that's fine. All I ask is not to post replies that add nothing to the conversation.

Even posts like "^^^" or "+/-1" express an opinion about a post, even if it's only contributing an opinion of preference. What you are trying to ban here are short posts that take up screen estate that you think are "useless" (matter of opinion). So until an option is implemented that allows the voicing of "+/-1" without taking up a post space, it's not right to remove the voice of the community at large.

ban useless topics
ban useless users
ban the whole damn forum! we should totally restrict access to this information to only those who contribute. make a private forum where only people who can prove they mined a bitcoin in 2009 can finally hangout and only contribute useful threads. we dont want the masses on board this train anyway...

How about making the maximum font size for the whole post (including the username and stuff associated) be proportional to the character count?
edit: also rescale any images, like the avatar etc and pics posted inside, proportionally to the max fontsize cap
edit2: tags, links etc shouldn't be taken in consideration when counting chars though, too easy to cheat with stuff like that

It's not about restricting free speech. Maybe not, but banning/deleting posts which you don't agree with, for whatever reason, is to be against freedom of expression. I can understand spam (as in, real spam,) and I abhor spam, but when someone has nothing to add to a conversation and yet wants to express that they are in agreement (thus cutting redundancy, i.e., Bill speaks his mind, Jane is in complete agreement because she was going to say the same thing, so instead of saying that same thing, she simply +1's), I don't feel it is up to a higher power (the mods and our beloved admin) to enforce a personal tick. I say this because I've never been bothered by +1, ^, "This", etc., especially when they're in favor of my posts Sure, we can force people to make detailed posts. But sometimes a +1 is all someone wants to get off their chest. Perhaps this is an effect of social media, however...it's easy to "Like" a post on Facebook or "thumb-up" a comment on YouTube, right? To meet in the middle, I'd propose a system in which users can vote up and vote down posts, if for nothing more than to eliminate the need for the +1 posts. There could also be a feature which auto-hides posts with a high amount of downvotes.

I would like that more than a voting system, feels more personal, and doesn't merge disagreements with agreements.

People would still post "+1" stuff all the time because they'd want their opinions to be more visible.

Has anyone figured out which sockpuppetry Grue belongs to?
I met a Grue, "Said how do you do?" Said, "How do you do, too?" To which I replied, "Fine by you." Not so true, Grue. If by inferring Grue not true, Could Grue still be true to you? Perhaps it is not Grue by GNU, Or Grue by U? But grew by Grue that rings true. Time flew, "Must be going, Grue." Uncomfortable pause grew... Grue knew that apart from that, Grue had to know that, Time flew, glad that, Moving past, Uncomfortable moment, thought, "Well, that's enough of that!"

^ This, is a perfect example of a post with no real clear contribution to the thread, yet is not "^^" or "+/-1". Good for laughs though lol.

People would still post "+1" stuff all the time because they'd want their opinions to be more visible. There's actually a solution for that (Facebook already does it). When someone "like's" something, it would show their name right under that person's signature on that post. "The following people appreciated this post".
