Lookin for YOUR opinion on Postin like a fool!

I agree with the character count, and while compliments are nice to give and receive it does get a little annoying when you see a thread has new posts and all it is is one or two words. Sure I am interested in looking at the other boards where you need .... I think it was 30 posts ..... but I am prepared to do it responsibly and legitimately.
I mean were adults (well most of us problay are) lets behave like them

post count realy dosnt mean much. If you have a high post count, that just means you spend more time typing than you do building.

On most of the forums I'm a member of (other than r/c) in order to have access to the b/s/t section you have to be a paying member of the forum.

There is also another membership for "sponsers" i.e. vendors.

My over all opinion is by having a limit on how many words are in a post could chase people away.

Please don't resort to a word or letter count. Many times all that is needed is a short-to-the point comment.......remember..... use the KISS method

I agree no character count.

I have to come down on the side of no character count because I think everyone appreciates receiving encouragement, even if it is brief. This results in people continuing to post substantive info. Haven't we all seen someone post something and then get discouraged if there are no subsequent posts acknowledging their work Of course it is not good if the reply post is abused but I would prefer to see those get dealt with on as needed basis. Like many things, I think granting discretion (in this case to post) should (in theory) work better than rigid mechanical rules.
