Posting error

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

I keep getting an error saying "Your post is too short. It does not contain enough characters!"

The post is long, even longer than some previous posts, but it still won't let me post '~'

Probably just a glitch in the new length requirement. I'd imagine there will be a few kinks to work out.

So that's what happens when you have a short post?

 

I was just going to ask how the mods were going to enforce it.

There is now a one hundred character minimum in all boards except Roleplay, Life Advice (200), and Cloudsdale Colosseum (0).

See this post for more information: http://mlpforums.com/topic/25404-minimum-post-lengths/

If you made a post that met those minimums and was still rejected, please tell me which board it was in, and what you were trying to post.

Well, actually the post I was trying to submit was in the Roleplaying section, but A-okay :3 Edited July 21, 2012 by Q. Pinkazoid The Bearded

Did you try posting Goku, Batman, Robin, Superman as characters?

We just implemented a feature where you have to write a certain amount of characters in order to post - this is to prevent spam and otherwise posts that lack content. The increase in "bad posts" over the months was disturbing, so we had to introduce this new feature in order to encourage people to make better posts and also to have better discussions across the board.

It needs a minimum of 200 characters now so no more one liners

which is good because some people were spamming the RPs and getting massive post numbers. ~

To be honest I think this rule was a waste, not saying it in a harsh way, but there are better rules out there then this one and this might be one of the few forums out there that control your posting limit just because you see to many short post, to be honest, if you were trying to get rid of the "great job" responses or something like that, then your doing it wrong.

Its a sad rule, but necessary. If what you have to say is shorter than a tweet it's probably best left unsaid.

How about in the picture threads. people typically post several pictures, but no words at all. I've done that quite often myself.

Most pictures threads are in Cloudsdale Colosseum or should be in there. There it has a 0 post count, so you should be fine

If you have any better ideas, please speak up! I completely agree that a character minimum is far from an ideal solution; but it's the best we've come up with so far.
