Re: Why is the minium charector limit even there?
Let me weigh in here.
When I was modding and David still owned the forum, The LOL and things like it was a real pain in the ass as far as that goes. Google picks up on the posts made and presents them to the public in their search engine.
Having said that, Here's my take on it.
When people come by and scope us out for answers do you want them to see LOLOLOLOLOLOL as a post in a thread where some one is looking for an answer to a problem? That sort of stuff is facebook fodder and should be left there. Next thing is going to be leet speak.
Do you want to present this face to the public? I for one don't. It's childish and makes us look bad. We always should be striving to put our best face forward. A little fun is not bad but this is a computer forum and we should conduct ourselves like we know what we're doing.
And you know damned good and well that some WILL abuse it to bump up post counts. There are those that want high post counts and some that judge whom to speak with based on post count.
Quality over quantity any time.
