One/two worded replies = pointless post?

[Mr-Trainor]

Ok so firstly, I just want to say I don't mean to be rude to the moderator who dealt with this or to any of the people I mention or quote, I'm just questioning the rule in general :P. If you look at these two posts here:

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=777909&p=7908223#post7908223 @Hayden (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=86637); asked
Oh are the adults still behaving like children
I replied
yep.


But I've been told that it's pointless, because most one/two worded replies are pointless. However, I just answered someone elses question and I personally don't feel that it is pointless. If I was to say, 'yep, they still are' - would that still have been edited as pointless? It doesn't change the meaning of my post at all, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been deemed pointless.

Now I also looked through the same thread, and found five other one-worded posts in the same thread which were not edited as pointless (because the majority of them aren't) and three of them are even pretty much identical to my post :P.

So yeah, just wondering how mine is pointless :).

I suspect it was a rhetorical question.

Possibly :P.

you could post and image and 1 word which could say a lot :|

Yeah I was going to post another complaint about how I was previously told an image that has words on it is not pointless, yet these ones have been deemed pointless:

Whereas the one I complained about a while ago was apparently not.

Sorry @David (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=73895); but you said the 'hi' part is irrelevant as the member was banned, but then I was told your image was not pointless because it has some text on it.

Because despite the fact they have words on them the words are still offtopic.

I know, but I was previously told that pictures with text on them are not pointless :P. See my edit above ^

Right, they weren't deemed pointless. They were deemed offtopic.

[Mr-Trainor]

Right, they weren't deemed pointless. They were deemed offtopic.
So are you saying the pot and kettle one is on topic? I saw nothing in the thread about kettles.. or pots.

[Chris]

What you posted isn't pointless because you answered a question. I'll sort it out for you in a moment.

He was referencing 'pot kettle black'

Thanks :P.

Thanks :P.

I was told it wasn't pointless because it has text on it.

Right, it wasn't pointless because it had text on it. And it wasn't off topic because the text in the image was on topic.

[Mr-Trainor]

Right, it wasn't pointless because it had text on it. And it wasn't off topic because the text in the image was on topic.
I wasn't told it was because of what the text actually said, but just because it had some text on it. Because in my complaint I showed two images which were dealt with as pointless, but those two had no text on them.

Perhaps the moderator was just unclear?

It was Chris that I spoke to about it :P.
