I totally agree, but there have been games that were locked because of their requiring answers of a size of one word, or a similar size, despite the statement, in the rules, of the fact that short posts would not be considered spam in cases such as forum games.
Posts are considered spam if they don't have at least five words.
They might be, but where is the gain in spamming on this section of the forum? Or where is the harm? The one and only thing I can think of is that certain threads would constantly stay on the top of the section.
Wait, "takes up space"? "Space", in this section, is for games, right? So, it may be spam, but it is inside a game, and thus is meant for participants to enjoy, in this case. It can be considered necessary as well, for the same reason. Oh, and could we take this conversation to either of our profile page? 'Cause, by the looks of it, this is getting locked for not being a forum game, lol.
