post size min limit

if posting a single emot is to be considered Spam, why not set a minimum character limit for forum.

ie under 3 character and post cant be submitted :)

Re: post size min limit

we have, unfortunately, been unable to locate that feature in the ACP. Had it but been for that minuscule detail, we'd have implemented it already...

Re: post size min limit

No one said you can't reply with a single emote. Flooding a topic with such posts is against the rules though. So I wouldn't agree with a character limit, but I guess Zeratul looked and couldn't find one so! Whatevs.

hmm then why was my post considered spam and I got a full warning for it, when I quoted and added a single emot?

several times, it has been stated by mods now that posting a single emot is spam ergo against forum rules.. was just trying to post a suggestion to prevent others from getting a warning for similar "spamming"

So in effect my banning was against forum rules?


and yes Eary, emots can be used to display context as well as a whole lot of other things in one simple way.. have you not heard one picture paints a thousand words.
Which is exactly what I did, and got banned for.

There is a rather big difference between the words "maximum" and "minimum".

haha so there is, that's what you get for posting before 6am! :shock:

And this is why phpbb forums are so crap cause they don't have something as simple as minimum characters built-in. This place would be so much better if Jason gave someone rights to implement Mods.

Exactly.

Sometimes an emote says everything and other times it is just spam.
