| Jul 16, 2012 at 6:56 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse Mod | If the question can be answered with a simple yes or no, its probably not a good question to begin with | |
| Jul 16, 2012 at 2:56 | comment | added | James Mertz | @Richard I didn't realize that you were looking for specifics. In that case, I agree that the short is answer is about the best that can be given. | |
| Jul 15, 2012 at 21:39 | comment | added | Richard | @KronoS In my experience (mostly on Stack Overflow rather than here) there are lots of questions where the answer is short. Any expansion is just pointless verbosity. Which is why, in my previous comment, I ask for specifics not generalities. | |
| Jul 15, 2012 at 13:54 | comment | added | James Mertz | @Richard those are IMO few and far between and even with yours it's possible to expand to the others that he requested, thus giving you a little more room to add. Nonetheless, there are going to be a few rare question like that one where a simple short answer is sufficient. | |
| Jul 15, 2012 at 13:39 | comment | added | Richard | Sometimes a short answer is all you need. Eg. how would you suggest that the open read only answer be made better? | |

| Jul 13, 2012 at 3:16 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | Treat it the same you would as if they didn't have such a high reputation. | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 3:15 | comment | added | James Mertz | @nhinkle I've seen this as well, and that's what I'm asking here. Do we just let them be and stop new users from doing so? Or do we clean this up as we go along? | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 3:14 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | You know, not to knock on anyone personally, but some people with tons of rep have tons of rep because they post a whole lot of short, quick, easy answers. Carpet bomb and hope you get some success. | |
