Is few-word/one-liner responses spam?

As the title says.

[_act_]

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:

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.

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.

[Ambatman]

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

[The Cryptovator]

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.

[Lida93]

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.

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

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?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

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.

When I was a full member I did this a lot, after replying to someone’s post and I look at my write up and I see that it’s small I just look for more things to add.
However when I became a sr member and I noticed that, what campaign managers are looking for is quality and not quantity I stopped it.
I really don’t care about how many lines I write anymore and I believe campaign managers really don’t care too as long as your post is meaningful.

To be honest you campaign managers are really trying it is not actually easy, I have helped a particular campaign manager to count posts, check quality and qualified posts and it took me time to have it done.
I imagined managing 4 to 6 signature campaigns at a time and maybe you are to count posts for 2 with about 40 to 50 participants each for that day, and you are to finish it within a particular time so you can also make payment faster, it’s a lot of work and if there’s anything that can help if I’m a campaign manager I won’t mind using it, especially when I also select best quality posters in the forum for my signature campaign.

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]

1. 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.

When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words. Nobody wants to read that, and you will not get merit for it. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting.

It depends. If a short post answers the question, help the OP or a forum member, it's a quality post. Post quality is not decided only by how many words it has.

[TypoTonic]

Depends. Let me share this quote again from the Signature Campaign Guidelines:

Short replies are not always bad and long ones are not always good. Sometimes all that is required is a simple one word yes or no response, but stretching out an answer just to appear constructive usually has the opposite effect.

Take a look at https://loyce.club/patrol/ and you'll see a couple of one-liner posts that can be considered low value/spam. I went ahead and reported these while I'm at it, lol.

pretty bullish on this one BTC

No one knows where the price will be next week, but if your investment horizon is several years, short-term volatility becomes much less important.

Fully agree!

The meal was delicious from the beginning but it was ruined by certain people and their games

[cryptoaddictchie]

Short and concise response in relation to the topic isnt a spam especially if all details entails what was asked or needed. Sometimes longer response looks more like a spam especially contain no thoughts or gibberish messages.

.... a better paying campaign will take your best posters from you

When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words.

I've seen so many posts/topics/sentences that start with "We all know that ....":

We all know that sport manipulation happens in

As we all know that forex and crypto have distinctive similarities.
~
As we all know that each human have a different risk appetite.
~
We all know that our mind is the greatest weapon.

We all know that the purpose of creating gambling center or betting sports is for gain purposes

Those are just fillers!
I love the last one: "the purpose is gain purposes"!

[Don Pedro Dinero]

What I find quite spammy is this thread to be honest, in line with other threads in the section lately.

Do you really need to start a thread just to ask that?

The obvious answer is the one given by _act_.
