I've seen an increase in messages such as "thanks! *Shoots limit*" I think the limit was implemented for a reason, and I don't see the mods doing anything about it. I'm starting to think these people just want an increase in postcount. Mod feedback?

I love how I always see the same "message to short" on the end of everyone's post. :P It's like they're trying to make a joke out of it or something. :P Either that or everyone who has a disregard for the rules can't spell too, lol.

If it is a joke, it's not very funny. There should be a rule or something..."Don't disregard the message limit"
You're right, of course. But I didn't express myself very clearly. :P The joke I was referring to was the fact that no one seems to put "message too short" instead of the usual "message to short". The joke is that they all can't spell the right "too." lol.

But you're right about the short message problem. :( If you're only posting a few words, why even bother? No one wants to hear a simple yes or no, good or bad, or other excessively simplistic answer. If they did, they'd post a poll. Sheesh.

They do that alot in most the rating threads, its really annoying, I seem to be able to aviod it? Its probley because I have so much to twitter on about, but yes just report them if you see them do it.
I do not have enough time for PC anymore, it is a sorry affair but I haven't been active in a long time. I do not have many friends still here at PC but if you are one that is still please feel free to contact me via msn.

I haven't seen too many of the "message too short" posters, mainly because I haven't gone to too many of the threads that would have an poster that did that, but not my point.. My point is that I'm going to start reporting them, I used to just tell myself how stupid they were and ignore it.. Nearly all of my posts are at least two lines so the only message I get most the time is the 30 second wait to post rule.. XD

I personaly think that the rule is pointless cuy there are always some ways to evade it... And if somebody askes you something like:

Yea, I know the color does seem a bit off... What do you think with which one should I replace it?

And what are you gonna answer?

Brown... Cuz I just generally like it. And I have no idea how it will turn out...
^ The last two sentences were stupid and pointless.
