I face exactly the same problem at my forums, one of the ways I dealt with it is by increasing maximum character in a post so that the "I agree" and " me too" type response are impossible to post.
I know this has its downside as well but the advantage far far outweigh the limitation it imposes on people who want to post genuine short "me too" post.

For the sake of discussion, I am talking about responses similar to the following. - Me too.
- I agree.
- I disagree.
- Welcome.
- LMAO.
- Thanks .
- Nice article.
I am curious what others feel as to what makes for a quality response to a thread. |
