dont misunderstand me, but i think this is a bad idea. you're asking for meaningful posts but still (even in this very same thread) spam is happening. it's like asking to spam seed

${lang:macro__view_post}$

"Spam" is anything meaningless or off topic for no logical reason. Spam can be anything from multi-paragraph to a single emoticon. At the same time, something that is on topic and 'meaningful' can be a single emoticon long if not obsessive or done for the sake of posting, and if there is a reason or message behind it. A short length has a general correlation with spam, but it isn't what makes it spam.

I'm not asking for long psychological posts about a theory saying that King Tut could have invented the first toothpick and how it relates to the above statement about runecrafting (backed up with evidence from the concept of the electromagnetic spectrum and the Watergate scandal), but I'm just asking that what people post is on topic.

If someone is obviously spamming it up he/she will be disqualified, but there's nothing wrong with posting more than usual. New posts and threads keep the place alive and interesting (and one cannot expect everything to be informative), if this helps promote members to post then it would benefit the community. Members are complaining about activity, and increasing the number of posts and threads is the first step to fixing it from the site's perspective. Since others don't seem to want to do it I may as well give incentive.

Besides, this hasn't really sparked much spam that I can see (comments aren't necessarily 'spam'), and members shouldn't be so serious as to lose their sense of humor.
