Should mods deal with the 1 line posters just here to build their counts.

[Upgrade00]

I have found many times that reporting a post may or may not get it removed.
Having multiple people report it tends to get it removed more often and faster.

I don't think mods need multiple reminders in order to decide whether to take action on a report or not, if your report checks out, it would be handled (this might take a while depending on the availability of mods in that section) and if it doesn't, all reports would remain unhanded or marked bad. Although, I think different mods could handle different reports on a post (as they are separate in the queue) and could have their unique opinions about it.

Multiple reports would be useful in getting quicker attention to cases that requires urgency, like malwares and phishing links in posts.

One line can say a lot.

I think it's not enough to say that a single line of the post is just a dump or useless because it is better to become straight to the point or straight forward to the statement we are trying to say, it's not necessary if you want to include an explanation. The goal is to help them and answer the question. There is some post that too much longer but at the end of the statement it is just a wordiness.

It's not the OgNasty posted 1 line or Peanutswar posted 4 when 1 would have done.
If you look at the link from LoyceV of the scraped posts they had 50 posts *all* of them 1 line.
Most were in sales threads asking questions that made no sense, others were just pure junk.

There are other posters out there doing the same.

People like this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2736846
They are all over, just 1 line posts never do anything just wasting peoples time.
Not "spamming" but they are not doing anything other then posting for the sake of posting.

I only noticed this one because he did post in one of my threads. Then I looked around briefly and saw a few other users like him.
Can't really report the posts because they are *somewhat* legitimate looking but anyone who has been here can see that he is just increasing post count.

Should they be reported to mods? Do the mods care?

In answering this thread.
I could have said  "many responses under 10 words are helpful"

and left it at that.

The truth is it is Very hard to determine how to detect and punish this.

I have done 1 word posts with 2 letters.

ie:

no


no was the correct answer to the op's question.

I saved band space.

Later on I came back and added an explanation

basically because I did not want to create the impression of being an a-hole.

I estimate in mining section and alt mining section when newbies ask questions many can be answered in under 10 words.  In Maybe 10% of those threads a 1 line answer is good.


It looks like you stumbled on a guy that likes to give an okay short answer. Maybe it is a protest. Against wordy mofos like me.

Personally trying to sort them out would be really hard to do.
