Remove Character Requirement
Reply
Posted 2007-11-29, 09:52 AM
There's no reason to have it. People will still post "lol" or whatever they want to post and tack extra stuff on to meet the requirement. It suppresses posting(spamming, yes, but spamming is still posting and thus activity.)

I don't think many people really think it serves a purpose other that WW and maybe a few others. I'm sure that the majority will agree that it needs to go.

I voted yes as well, another pointless addition that is unecessary.

It's the little things that count guys. Like the little "New Posts" button that shakes when there's new posts.

I, for one, vote yes.

I think he means the FAQ link that shakes if you're a guest/new member or something like that.

It's not an addition; it's built-in, and on by default.

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.

To put it bluntly: "Fuck no!".

Personally, I think that what some people get away with is far too little. If it were up to me, I'd whack it up to 5 words, let alone characters.

Though I admit, it would be nice to turn it off in the WRT.
