Minimum Characters Per Post

[LiNuX]

I have installed a new mod which gives me the option to choose how many characters a certain post should be. a minimum character per post. The default now is 30, that is not a lot. You have to make your posts at least 30 characters to avoid spam.

Now i want to ask your opinion, what is a fair number to set the minimum character per post?

I was going to put 50 but i decided to go 30.

I'm asking for the opinions of all the members on this forum. What do you think i should do?

[hollerfromelz]

it is unconstituional to have a limit of how much we can write! >:(

[crazay]

first of all, lol @ hollerfromelz lol, unconstitutional* u spelled that wrong lol, forgot a "t", but anyway, i say leave it as it is now 30 characters, it isnt that much, the posts i make make out to about 100 characters each i guess

I voted for "75 or more" because I know that I talk a lot (well, apparently, not now,) but I do, and you never know...that would suck if I was limited to 30 characters... :-[

[LiNuX]

u misunderstood twigz, its not limitting to 30 characters, but a minimum of 30 characters per post, meaning, you will get an error message if your post has less than 30 characters, not that you cant write more than 30 characters

[SSBB-Master]

I gonna go with 25. but I'm not so sure.

[Twigz]

Ohh...then if I had to vote again...I would say 30 is pretty reasonable...I thought it said you CAN'T do more than 30 characters...boy, was I wrong...

[souljaa]

I think it should be around 15-20.

[diablo]

i put 50, it shouldnt be much, i mean, in all my replies i have at least 50 characters, its not that much if u look at it lol

[LiNuX]

looks like a tie between 15 and 50 characters lol, i should wait for more people to vote before i finalize it

[Thor Erik]

well i voted 15 >.< i clicked a litle fast. at least 50 carracters <.< but i would't min 100 carracter limit :p since most(if not all) are above 100 carracters :)

[LiNuX]

lol ok, i'll count ur vote as 50 characters lol

[KittyCat72]

I think it should be lower, like 15. Because you don't always have to say a lot to get to your point. :-\

well that can be true, but it can also cause spam, like messages like, "i dont know" -- thats 11 characters, and thats spam, and the point of that post is that the person does not know, see what i mean? "i dont know, but googled it for you and here is the link (link here)" thats a little bigger and it has a point, its helpful, and no spam

[KittyCat72]

Your right there, but couldn't you just warn people not to do that. It's just being kind of stupid if you have no meaning and you waist a post. Those people are ruining it for all of us........ :'(

telling them doesnt work all the time u know lol, this other forum im a part of bans anyone that spams too much lol, doesnt even bother to warn them, its a hosting forum, thousands of members so, its ej.am, dont know how many people heard of that

[KittyCat72]

Yea, I know they don't listen. That's what I was thinking too. If they spammed too much to ban them.
