I understand Big3's sentiment but the time it takes to expound upon a subject is usually enough to dissuade people from posting in the first place. The superfluity of short posts only really gets to be a problem in threads like Albums You're Digging where people are supposed to offer a brief description of whatever album they're touting.
The point is those people who are forced to post with some intrinsic thought process are the same ones who won't spend the fifteen seconds required to do so. In their minds there is virtually no motive to explain why they like a band, the mere fact that they do is sufficient enough.
There's just no simple way to promote intelligent discussion.
