but there is nothing wrong with that really to a point anyway
i mean sure if ppl just put in one liners all the time then u dont have anything to go on and they are probably just trying to get more posts so they can be in the next year
but i think that it is rude to do that
they are not messing anything up by doing it
One liners make it difficult to follow the conversation and the ones deleted did not contribute to the conversation. The moderators will make the decision.

Please realize that it is considered rude to hijack a thread. Simply learn when to start your own topic rather than interrupting an on-going thread. Also, watch dates. Many new members dig up old threads that have not been discussed for a year and post a one liner.

and if someone doesnt understand
isnt it the others obligation to help them out
No, it is the member's obligation to read all of the posts. If something is not understood then contribute what you do understand. It's okay to ask a question about the topic. We welcome everyone's participation but spamming a board makes it difficult for everyone else.

sorta
and how long to our posts need to be
and does every post we make have to stick to the topic just so that u guys dont delete it
help a girl out
PLEASE I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY
We have not added a modification to the board to block one word posts. However, we have considered it. For now, please use full sentences and assume that there are people who are not from the United States who prefer rules of capitalization, proper use of upper and lowercase letters, etc. Just use common sense and you'll be fine.

As you may have noticed, we have started to clean up the conversations so that new users can follow the topics. It's very easy once you get the hang of where to post and also learn to use the "My Assistant" in the top of the forum. It'll save you a lot of effort. After all, there were over 500 new messages posted on one day last week. It took a lot of time to read them.

Have a great time Shelby. We appreciate you being around. Keep up with sharing your ideas.
