The following modifications are being made in the Forum:
.
1. The Opinion box will now show a detailed list of Members who provided the rating. When you click on Great, Thanks, Useful or Agree, a box will open up beneath displaying the names. When you hover over the respective member names, the tooltip will provide the corresponding member profile.
.
2.

In order to preserve the past anonymous scheme, the above will be effective for all Opinions, going forward ONLY. Past opinions will remain anonymous.
.
3. A new option "No Opinion" has been provided to withdraw your Opinion.
.
4. As a consequence of the introduction of the features, it is NO LONGER necessary to provide one-word replies like Thanks, Nice, Agree and so forth. Such blog posts will henceforth be considered SPAM, and members indulging in this practice will get suspended/banned.
.
5. As a further elucidation, the "Great" opinion is a synonym for "Nice", "Superb", "Fantastic", "Mind-blowing", "I really like it", ... and so forth. Hereafter, only Blog Posts with material substance will be entertained.
.
Thanks.

It is just another rule among dozens of rules here which are broken everytime.
And its a routine that when members sit in opposition, the rules pounce on them. No wonder its just the coalition dharma versus see-be-eye.

Rightly said = Agree and hence, this is spam.
Look, you have caught one word which is prone to deletion.
Make mistakes, you cannot wait for everyone to make mistakes and then learn.

Blog Entry Archived.
The judgement of whether a blog post is spam or not is based on human judgment and discretion, NOT on some software algorithm, based on "one word" or "multiple words".
.
Primarily, the "intent" of the blogger is gauged. Not all short, one word replies are spam. Similarly, multiple sentences need not always be non-spam. If it is a genuine

sentiment (critical or complimentary - it does not matter) or statement which is directly relevant to the discussion, then it is not spam. If you are expressing a simple opinion like "Thanks" or "Useful" which duplicates what is present in the Opinion button, then it is spam. So there are no loopholes to exploit.
.
Example:
Blog Post: Which platform does train X come in station Y?
Blog Reply: 4
(not spam, even though the reply is as short as possible).
.
Thanks.
