Question: What's this "filler filler" about?

[craigr959]

I've done a few searches and can't find an explanation..... At the end of a few posts i've seen people put the word filler but what DOES it mean?!?!

I don't exactly know either. I think because of the 25 letter rule thing people say Filler Filler Filler so they can reply. Correct me if i am wrong

In some areas of the D/P/P boards (Wireless Battle Stadium, and Wireless Trade Corner), as well as in the visitor messages, it is allowed to use "fillers" to bypass the 25 characters and four words rule set in all the forums, mainly because posts there don't add to the total, and meetings for trades (one example) can be easily solved with a "Ok", so having to write 25 characters may be somewhat unnecessary in that case.

This said, the usage of "fillers" (random words unrelated to the post) is NOT allowed anywhere else in the forums, to prevent spam. So, if you see a post using fillers outside of the previously said areas, please report it.

I think this is what you were asking, wasn't it?

i like to put a lot of space in between my last character and a period. filler filler is an annoying way to bypass the limit

The best suggestion is to use proper posting etiquette and proper grammar.

dark master is right its so people can put a short message with 25 letters

Like, instead of "Ok", you could post "That would be fine, thanks. See you then."
