25charlimit

Well, I am pretty interesting. :D

Anyway, there should be no reason for complaint when you can just write a full sentence.

"Just write a full sentence," would've worked, so it's not hard.

I believe the argument is more about the way this place is moderated in regards to the character limit rule than it is about posters' copious laziness.

I assume the point of this thread is that you'd like the rule modified? "This rule doesn't apply if the moderator of the section feels as though the post contributes regardless of length." or something of that nature? Given the response from the two admins who've replied here, my guess is that you won't have much support of that.

Adding that line to the rules would be good; though I take it unless I am an admin myself my support towards IIMarckus won't matter...

Well, I don't see a problem with how the moderation is done. You just have to avoid it by writing a full sentence.

 

[IIMarckus]

Yes, I see what you're saying. You think that moderators should let certain posts that are under the 25 character limit go, so long as the post is worthwhile enough to ignore it.

You're almost there. I think that in a case like this, where I did not try to get around the filter in any way, and received no indication from the filter that this would be warn‐ or caution‐worthy, no warning should be given.

Relaxing the rule for good posts in general, though a good idea IMO, is not what I'm debating here.

Ah, now then that would be something to have a word with Semele about, in PMs.

That's reasonable.

Another thing I would appreciate is either fixing the filtering in regards to BBcode, or providing some indication (whether in the rules or elsewhere) that BBcode may interfere with the filter.
