From now on, if I see "one-line" responses that are of the following nature:
1. "That's cool."
2. "Hahay, saons nalang, ana lagi ang world."
3. "Wala lang, agi lang."
4. "Nindot na dah."
5. "Wow that's nice."
I will automatically give a 1 point infraction to the person contributing that post. Exceptions are one liners that are meant as a direct reply to someone's previous question.
The reason behind this is to
a) encourage DISCUSSION in the science section. I checked the threads recently and most are nothing but "one-liner bins", containing only stuff like "Ayus dah!" or "Cool!" and that went on for like 10 or so responses.
b) discourage those who are using the Science section to increase their post count, by posting short posts, in several threads here, to evenly distribute a LOT of posts in one section. Well, this is the science section, and I cannot allow you to use it in such a manner.
Again, this is a DISCUSSION area--if you are LAZY to discuss, you and your comments DO NOT belong here.
