Remove minimum character limit.
Seriously, no long post, it's ridiculous. Even staff bypass it.
#2
In the junkyard, everybody bypasses it.
In other places, I can see where it'd be mildly necessary.
#3
Remove post restriction after x amount of posts. That way nubs won't post the letter 'd' in every thread.

No reason. It doesn't hurt to throw a few more characters in a post.

Not to mention, people abusing that system can just be infracted or banned(if mass spamming). Yet, someone spamming can post more letters. Huge deal really. lakfaslkdfasdf vs. asda. You can actually type the longer one faster...

@Everyone else. It is not required. Anywhere. JY or not. If people want to bypass it in JY, who gives a shit? If they just post "no" on some damn thread, it's spam. Do believe a rule is you have to post with purpose and back up yourself. Not that anyone cares...

Not really. It depends on the thread.

Huge post = more space on server taken up.

If(Server == no_space_left){
LG.Die();
}
//Nuff said.

Not saying this is a bad idea or anything but it could become a problem if people do abuse it.

He was talking about the minimum character limit. Not the maximum.

Doesnt hurt to add "Msg2Short" after your message and make it long enough, but normally posts should have more than the minimum anyways. If its not normally its spam.

To be honest, the only reason you would need to bypass it is in the junk yard and through pm. It wouldn't be worth all the trouble it would cause elsewhere.
