I'm pretty sure I answered this question long ago in this thread, but my answer is that I don't have the same all or nothing perspective on the rules that you do. Yes, I believe that that short/nonsense rule should exist but no I don't believe it should be enforced on every individual instance of a short/nonsense post. It exists because we need a way of addressing the issue of people who have a pattern of posting nonsense constantly, but people doing it occasionally isn't an issue. It's like a city having a noise ordinance on the books. It would be absurd, even detrimental the culture of the city, to have the cops show up every time someone has a party, but you need the rule on the books for people who do it so often that becomes a nuisance.
