The Awesome One 1,315 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Well you see Scarfy, it's to make sure your post has content, not just a one liner or 5 or 6 words. I think it's been about two or three days since this rule has been made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonshy 2,305 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 This is actually one of my favorite "rules" that was added to the forums. I can finally stop seeing posts with little to no content. I would hate to see this rule go. 2 Yeh Want to know how to get more page views? Click here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Awesome One 1,315 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 To be honest, I wasn't making very large posts before this rule was made :3. That's all I wanted to say but I had to pass the 100 word limit so I typed this as well. : P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaceon 793 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 and its still the worst rule ever made by humans or dolphins woo 3 days and im still bitching about it Rules are here because the moderators and admins decided to implement it, and we have to respect their decision, even if it's sometimes an inconvenience.I for one also find this to be quite annoying at times, but it's positive effects outweigh the negative.

Azura 1,107 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 To be honest I really don't mind typing much especially when I can type fast without even having to think without a single typo. All I want to say is this I am starting to like this since I don't have to get angry at anypony for posting useless stuff. 1 My Signature Shop!-=-=-=-=-Art Collection!-=-=-=-=-A Signature Tutorial!

Azura 1,107 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 (edited) what about the pictures thread where people just post funny pictures? Since the link to the picture already fills up around 50 all you have to do is add some random stuff like this and you're good to go. the only reason i find it annoying is because of like the welcome plaza i dont want to make a long a exaggerated welcome. Is it really that hard for you to write a hundred letter sentence? If not then you are not worthy for such forum.

Victoria and Co. 782 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 (edited) Is it really that hard for you to write a hundred letter sentence?It's not even just letters, is it? It's all characters right?

Ashbad 969 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Honestly, while I agree with the intentions of the rule, it doesn't change any content issues. Posts like: "LOL IKR" Will just turn into: "XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD LOL IRK DAT IZ FUNNYYYYY am I at 100 characters yet" Could've definitely been better thought out.

Azura 1,107 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 there you go being rude again and i can if i want to and worthy of a forum step off your high horse why don't you Okay, I'm sorry. Lets just stop arguing, it's not really my style. If you have any more further problems with me feel free to talk to me through PM instead of this innocent thread. Honestly, while I agree with the intentions of the rule, it doesn't change any content issues. Posts like: "LOL IKR" Will just turn into: "XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD LOL IRK DAT IZ FUNNYYYYY am I at 100 characters yet" Could've definitely been better thought out. That's when we have no choice but to ban them, but first the admins will start deleting them and giving them warnings. It's not even just letters, is it? It's all characters right? Meaning, if you used proper punctuation, the one hundred minimum seems like even less. Now that you said it I don't suppose a few "!" or "?" would really help, it's just a few and I can simply add a few more words or two. 1 My Signature Shop!-=-=-=-=-Art Collection!-=-=-=-=-A Signature Tutorial!

Ashbad 969 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 In addition to no change in what content will have from spammy people (besides that there will be more of the spam they spit out), I'd expect a lot of bitching from a lot of new people now that this is put in place. I mean, why not a filter on words like "LOL", "ROFL", "XD", etc instead? They're absolutely useless and have no meaning in any conversation whatsoever. What has fanfiction has Ashbad written lately?

Victoria and Co. 782 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 People, this is what just over one hundred characters looks like. It's not much at all.

You do realize that there is a difference between spamming things like, "I like this," and the things you said right? While most people would post the first thing you said, mostly because its easy and they can get out after that, but no one in their right mind would post the second thing. For one thing, it makes them looks stupid. and 2nd, we know that the mods would warn/ban someone for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomuraBL 851 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Okay, about something like: "LOL IKR that is a pretty funny thing XD :P" Which is still rather content-poor, and is something someone is more likely to post? Well now we have to look at how willing someone is. First off, I've seen many people who seem to like to agree with someone or have nothing else to say, then bypass the limit. You know what? Heres how to fix that. Look around and get more to say. It would make everyone lives easier. And while "LOL IKR that is a pretty funny thing XD :P" is pretty poor in content, its still pretty noticeable and mods would most likely see it. And actually looking around the forum, its actually appearing a lot less then you think. Sure people do it, but I don't see it as often. I see less it less often then "I like" and stuff like that. Of course, I would never post the second, never have and never will. If anyone claims so, I will deny all allegations and sue for defamation. I always contribute long meaningful content, and I plan to do so well into the future. That is all. Have a nice day. ...Was there really any point to quoting me on that? Were you trying to make an argument or just adding something I don't see? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
