Remove the stupid character limit

[dnar]

The minimum post length is just plain dumb, with people posting "16 characters" or images of Dysney Characters to over come the limitation, so it is pointless IMHO.

You need to be clever to see my vote.

[soforene]

I'm not clever.
I just used my X-Ray vision !

[jaycey]

I say keep it, it makes for some interesting humour

I'd say a post should at least contain:
one numeric
five bytes of porn
2,5μCi of Polonium 210
some fairy dust
and a pinch of salt.

[QUAZAR]

Totally agree.

blah, blah, blah

[allthatwhichis]

Whoa... Most rules are put in place for a good reason; I am sure the Man upstairs.... with with the Broom, has a good reason for the character limit and I doubt it is a stupid reason. I know he does but I don't remember what post it was stated in.

I got an idea; remove the character limit for the users with paid subscriptions. Maybe more people will subscribe.

[soforene]

....remove the character limit for the users with paid subscriptions.....

And next thing you know, all those who don't subscribe will be given pretty yellow stars to wear on their jackets.

it could be an anti-spambot technique

doesn't bother me much, i say leave it in place

[loopee]

I seem to recall a post sometime ago about this and Admins reasonings was to limit the SNR (signal to noise ratio) in threads

I thought that's what the CLUEBYFOUR was for?

You know that is not how I meant that... It was a hunorless joke about what could be the easiest way to get around the character limit and help get more support for the forum.

[soforene]

No worries Mucka.
I was just yanking ya chain.

What is it that you absolutely must say in less than 16 Characters that
causes you so much anguish.... whistle.gif

It is probably to avoid useless posts like...

Yeah
Great
Awesome
I want one
Me too
Wow
Cool
Neat
You da man

Etc.... Etc... Etc....

just to increase one's post count...

这并不是说我想所有消息后很短的时间，但有时很短的答复是所有需要。

嘿，我能做到這一點！

但你真的在學習中文，如果我沒有記錯

是的，我目前。

我建议你，永远站在后面驴和枪射击，或踢是不可避免的坚果
