Is few-word/one-liner responses spam?

As the title says.

No

It depends on how useful and meaningful the post is.

[Hazink]

That depends on the content of the response. There are a few lines comment that can be very detailed and pass down better information than some other wall of text, so not all is spam.

It depends on on which is what I voted for.

[DYING_S0UL]

It depends!  

I have seen LoyceV making few word/one liner responses many times, and none of them were spam, I felt he was always on point.

If you can give the solution in one word/sentence then that's enough, doesn't mean it's spam. On the other hand, a paragraph of sentences doesn't always mean that's helpful either.

There are times that my post will be of few words, but I just increase it without adding more meaning to it just because of signature campaign, but still a good post. I believe many people will be doing this also. It is not often, but there are times that it happens like that despite that I post more that required.

Holy cow! I have never seen this kind of honesty before. +1 for you.

[LoyceV]

In this case: yes.

So you're saying your signature campaign manager encourages spam by setting a minimum post length. There's a better solution:

4. There is no minimum length to make a post constructive, but you can expect scrutiny. If you can post a constructive post in 12 words, you don't need to make it longer.

Is few-word/one-liner responses spam?

I voted "It depends".

Posts like "thanks, I appreciate", "interesting topic", "pm me", etc could be regarded as spam depending on the context.

While,

Posts like "run a node instead", "do CPFP", "multiSig wallet is the solution", etc could be short, yet quality.

So you're saying your signature campaign manager encourages spam by setting a minimum post length. There's a better solution:

If I were a signature campaign manager, I would take enough time to recruit quality posters, when I get the right posters to hire, I will remove post length rule.

I understand that the post length rule was introduced because of spammers, I don't think that such rule is strictly applied to everyone.

I have seen few words that better explains a question than huge text
And have seen wall of text that barely explains anything.
But there are some that are obviously spam

Such posts as "SELL SELL SELL", "I agree", "+1", "Support", "Watching", "Interesting", "LOL", "SCAM", "LEGIT", "FAKE", other one word posts, posts consisting mostly of swearing, quote pyramids, useless introduction threads, threads about a topic already recently discussed in several other threads

As the title says.

Isn't that itself a one-liner? But I don't consider it a spam post. So it depends on the reply to how it's meaningful for the purpose. That means if you could make a meaningful post or reply in a few words, it shouldn't be considered spam. Like someone asks a question that only could be answered by "yes" or "no." This means if you answer there, it shouldn't consider it spam. On the other hand, if you write something more to explain why you think yes or no, then it shouldn't also be considered spam.

If you are thinking about signature campaign rules, then it depends on the manager, and it's related to the campaign, not to the forum rules. If the manager doesn't count the post, it doesn't mean it's spam; rather, the manager doesn't count your post due to not following the campaign rules.

As the title says.

It may and may not be depending on what the one liner post is about. There are answers to a question that by necessity it doesn't require a long texts to give an answer for it to be understood, so just a one liner would have solved it.

Just like I have written about two line up there already when I could have just written, No.

You don't really have weeks to wait to hire enough quality participants in a campaign. You also may not really have a decent enough budget to hire all the users viewed as quality posters in a campaign. You have to take a mix in every campaign and what a manager deems as qualifying is up to them.

Sometimes less is more. The character count is there more as a deterrent for the spammers but in the long run it really doesn't help much and should probably be taken away. If a manager is doing their job and actually looking at a users posts 1 by 1 we might see less spam being counted and less users being hired that are actually not worth hiring.

I seen a comment by LM the other day and I wonder what other managers are doing the same thing when it comes to reading posts.

I used a scraper to collect the entries and I didn't have this in mind. I'll work on the scraper now to find out edited post after a given date and exclude those submission.

Are posts being looked at or are managers using a scraper to just count characters and counting posts?

Check out some of the posts gentlemand has made over the years.  He hasn't been active in years, but you know why I remember him?  He used to make some of the shortest but sometimes the wittiest and most intelligent posts I've seen on this forum.

So yes, post length does not equate to quality--but I do believe this has been discussed numerous times before in different contexts over the span of probably a decade.  And blah blah blah blah, the end.

Underrated post, lol.
