5 letter rule

That's why the mods would manually enforce it, as Lenny said.

But it seems entirely pointless.

Do you not agree that at least some posts are a valid response that are under x number of characters?

Yes, but not enough to warrant dealing with the trouble of retards complaining about unequal enforcement.

Ditch the 5 letter rule and enforce signifigant post rules completely in all non spam forums.

I think if a single post fits then that rule should not be automatically enforced. Why automate the moderator's job when they can do it so much more efficiently?

Because retards complain loudly and persistantly when rules are enforced on a case by case basis.

What about you? You think eliminating the five character rule will increase spam?

No. because you are still spamming even if you put "fuck ww" under your spam. Outside the chatterbox of course. So I am suggesting that they eliminate the rule and replace it with more responsible moderation in the better forums.

As if. I see a very overwhelming ammount of spam in areas suposed to be free of it.

Though since I have been complaining about it, the problem IMO does seem to be lessening.

You think removing the five character requirement is going to increase spam? Conversely, do you think raising the character requirement will decrease spam?
