Trees being no more than three posts, because of the excessiveness, but what about posts that don't apply to the one participating in the thread?  For example, the thread topic is, "Do you have any old consoles? What are they?" and the reply simply says, "No."

I don't like one word answer posts because essentially, anyone can come in, say "no," while not actually adding to the conversation and is most definitely doing it to bump up their personal stats.

There needs to be like, a six word minimum on posts, or else what you're saying isn't significant enough to contribute. It's a forum, not a chat room.

There is already a rule against one word posts, I've seen it enforced a few times as well.
9. Spamming. Spam, which is multiple replies in a row without any substance and replies that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, is not allowed.

• Explain and justify your opinions. If you have nothing to add to a topic, then don't post at all.

I think this is the point though. If the thread is "Do you own any video game consoles?" and someone replies, "No," they can argue that their reply had everything to do with the topic at hand. There should be a 3-6 word minimum, in my opinion anyway.
