we added that rule because some user were creating posts with just the title, that was confusing and hard to start a discussion over. It doesnt have to be an essay mind you it can be a short sentence describing your question/problem/resource.

Fair. I still think you ought to consider dropping in a "it doesn't have to be long" or something in the official rule.

how about this? "Your posts must include a text body. It doesn't have to be long, it just needs to be descriptive."
