It does. I use it more casually, I guess, with it meaning anything really absurd. I should probably stop before someone takes offense.

Same goes for .gif only posts. Yes, I understand why this would get annoying if that is all a certain member posts, but by and large I'd venture that is rarely, if ever, the case. Nevermind how inconsistently the rule seems to be applied. If "pointless" posts are any wherein there's a lack of substantive contribution to the topic at hand then I could round up a whole lot more for you that are filled with text.

It's also long-been a warning. Again, just because people have gotten by does not mean it's accepted. This is not FB nor is it Twitter or Reddit. This is ATRL, a forum. Look up what forum means. FB, texting, etc are not examples of a forum. Forums have discussions.
But that's also cause you have so many other threads to post in right now.
People getting banned left and right like it's a mods's routine.
