5 letter rule

Sorry to use you as an example, Asamin, but this is why I think the five letter rule should stay in place (or at least, in place in serious forums - all except the Chatterbox or WRT). Without it, people can get away with simply replying with "ya", or "lol", or "wtf". In the WRT, fine. In Chatterbox threads, fine. But on the rest of the boards? No thank you. To repeat my argument from above, a post of <5 characters does nothing to further the discussion in the thread. I think it might have been missed first time round, so I'll put forward my alternative idea again: - Five character limit scrapped for Chatterbox and WRT - Limit raised to 25/50 characters in every other forum

I agree with the first part... maybe 15 for the other forums. Sometimes you just don't have to say a lot.
