View submission: Rule Enforcement Change - Top-level comments must answer the question

Some questions have one-word answers though. Brevity is a good thing. You need to get rid of that automod that thinks "Yes" isn't an answer and is a statement of agreement.

Also, I haven't used an "unkindness" in this comment, but the automod thinks I have.

Not automod, comment guidance (if you're interesting the difference).

Sure. But that isn't what we're talking about here. Though fwiw, yes, automod will remove *really short* answers. We'd prefer people meat it out a bit.

I know, I know. But just because a question can be answered succinctly, doesn't mean OP can get what they're looking for from it.
