KILL the 10 character limit.

[cgannon64]

KILL IT kill it kill it.

Brevity is the essence of wit, or however it goes.

This rule is very, very dumb. It doesn't stop spam. People just add gibberish to make it long enough. All it does is PISS people off.

KILLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what 10 character limit?

 

[MarineCorps]

Try posting a a smilie only post.

@CG: Won't stop them but it will sure as hell slow them down.

 

[Zwelgje]

The limit must be a killer for word-association...

 

[Gogf]

Ten word minimum.

Anyway, I agree.

 

[KaNick]

People usually just add something like: "I need more characters" so there post will go through.

 

[Gogf]

Which interestingly enough is spam, so the minimum is encouraging spam.

 

[Inter4]

keep the 10 character limit. It's a good anti-spam.

 

[ybbor]

i say lower it to three-five

 

[Alexnm]

hm, i'm tempted to do a smilie-only post, just to see how it works... ok, i won't do it.

 

[Gogf]

Can't you just post more than ten characters, and then edit the post to below?

 

[Archer 007]

Yeah, this has angered me when I wanted to give a nod in a thread.

 

[Alexnm]

argh, i've just experienced that limitation in another thread, and i must say:

Kill the 10 characters limit now!!!!!

 

[ainwood]

I think its a good idea.

 

[cgannon64]

Can't you just post more than ten characters, and then edit the post to below?

No, I tried that.

Ainwood: What does it do? Really? What does it add to the forum?

 

[ainwood]

It stops posts like:

"OMGLOL!"

And:

"I agree"

And



I would like to know why people agree with a post, for example. ANything that makes people think about the posts they are making has got to be worthwhile.

 

[Silverflame]

It's quite easy to sidestep it anyways. Just repeat the word ten times.

 

[ainwood]

Obvious sidesteps can be dealt with.

 

[Goober]

I think it is a good idea, the Spam-prevention thing.

Of course, I like to ramble, so I am almost always over 10 characters.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Anything that puts in a spanner in the clockwork of spammers; I'd love it.
