Well... sometimes one liners is all it takes to get your point across (i.e. posts 38 and 39 are complete thoughts based on the post before it), thus I don't think expanding for just the sake of being longer is really a necessity, and is actually more of a waste of both the poster's and the readers' time.
That said, one liners are not always complete thoughts, and are often spammed replies to up one's post count (i.e. like saying "I totally agree." in a posted response to something previously posted, and nothing more), and that I can see being frowned upon.
Regardless, this is the first message board I've ever been a member of that had what could be called a "no one liner" policy, and so I've been making an effort to flesh out my thoughts when posting since the mod edit on one of my first posts requested that I not make such short posts... but honestly... sometimes it can't be helped... like here, in post 39. I mean... how long of a post should it take to point out that there are only 6.7 billion people on the planet?
Does that make sense?
(Note: I'm not trying to be difficult or anything, I'm just saying.)
