7 character limit

That's not it. People like grav do this as well, and he has made it blatantly obvious that he doesnt give a shit about post count.

I have another proposition to consider. Post count can be the reason for a person to spam, but it can also be the reason for a person to post constructive comments. Spam to a certain extent is fine, but when it get's excessive, it's bad.

People don't like being forced to do something. Why not get rid of this character rule. This will stop all the bickering and fighting about this. Post count should stay, HOWEVER, the punishment for excessive pure spam should be increased. I'm willing to start soft deleting posts that are just pure "aofadlfkj". I'm on the boards a LOT, and go through a good deal of the posts. In the chat forum, exceptions shall be made because thats where spam belongs, but everywhere else I will enforce it.

People are a lot more likely to be compliant when given a choice to abide by rules instead of being forced to follow them.

It's a win win win scenario. People who want post count can still get it, people who want freedom get it via no char rule, and teh admin gets what thye want as pure shit posts will be deleted, thereby somewhat improving content.
