- only contain emoticons.
- only contain a short message, such as "LOL" or "hello."
- are posted more than once.
The one-emoticon messages, although sometimes pointless, seem to be useful at times, e.g. '
' for your appreciation for a joke... and even the admins/mods do this.
Well, I agree with you here, because I and many other people do this alot, especially with the
,
or
emoticons. Other than that however, I don't see a problem with the rules and don't see any of your points as valid.
For example...

Messages posted more than once, would you believe, I can argue too! My computer, and indubitably others too, sometimes post messages twice, or if I think my computer didn't recognise the click (which often happens) and really the status bar's just frozen, I wait a bit and click it again, and it posts twice. It has happened - not often, but it's happened.
There is such a thing as the "delete" option. You can delete posts, so if you double post the same thing you can go back and delete it.

I suppose technically there shouldn't be any new member threads. There is
one thread in the General forum for introductions and that is it, so any other introductions shouldn't be there.
In short, I just don't agree with you, other than on the first point I made. I think the rules are well written and should be followed without any further complaints.
That's just
my opinion.
