Remove Character Requirement

So turn it off. It's obviously not something that just happens to "be there." You've tweaked it and such, so the fact that it's on by default is irrelevant.

Yeah, 'cause I remember when there used to be no character requirement, and we were still using vB3.

It also used to be a larger requirement, 10 characters I think.

No, it's relevant because D3V was accusing me of adding it to annoy people, whereas the only thing I've ever done to it is reduce it.

Make it like 50 chars for D3V then. And like .5 chars for everyone else.

Oh i'm sorry, I'm just refferring to when there wasn't a requirement, and now there is.

You are mistaken. 10 characters is the default. I did however, reduce it to 5 characters 18 months ago or so.

Jesus tap dancing christ on a cross I don't know how VB works, just make it go back to how it was.

No, WW will get overly technical with you and completely avoid the issue and it will never get changed.

He acts like I care what VB defaults as, I knew it as I could say LOL or STFU and have it be fine with a period or two.

Can we tie a character limit into the reputation system?

For example, the higher your reputation rating, the more slack you are given when posting since you are trusted? And conversely, if someone has a low rating, they will have to post more.

After a more thourogh investigation using an SQL search, it would appear that the 10 character limit was added as a default with vB3.0 . Again, this was nothing that I started.
