On some other forums they have a "10 word rule"
so I thought that maybe CR should have it too.
It would really help things out,
make posts less spammihsh.
It would definitely help in roleplay section.
The 10 word rule works like this; it won't let you submit a post unless it has 10 words or more in it.
So do think it's a good idea?

The roleplay section already has a paragraph rule.

Other than that, I don't see the point in imposing a ten-word requirement. Sometimes a reply that long just isn't needed.

Though the roleplay section has a paragraph rule some people don't listen to it and post a small sentence that was poinless, e.g just a smiley, I find that it's a problem especially in the RPs I've made...

In other terms, posts like:
"My favourite quote's probably: :phoenix:

You... scoundrel!"
"Can I be a beta tester too?"
"1. Godot 2. Luke 3. Dahlia"
"Wow, this sprite really is wonderful!"
"Here's the link: [url]"
"You posted this in the wrong section."
"Thank you. You can lock this topic now."
etc.
wouldn't be authorized.
To put it in less than 10 words: I don't think it's such a good idea.

Indeed. Plus, it's easy to bypass.

Well, it's already recommended that posts be at least a full sentence long, so I guess that would be like an unwritten 10-word rule without the actual word restriction, maybe as part of the "make posts with substance" rule.

I think it's supposed to be a 10 character rule. And as said before, some posts don't even need to be that long.

But still, some posts don't even need 10 characters.

Especially in those threads that don't deserve a good post.

Except the posts would be whatever you post plus:

"10char lol"

It is usually best to admit mistakes when they occur and to seek to restore honor.

No. I cannot support this. I go to other forums with this in place, and it's just not fun.

Who said I was trying to be funny? I was simply voicing my opinion on this matter. I disagree. I don't think this rule should be in effect. Especially not here. I had no intention of being funny or annoying.
