I have re-setted the number of characters to each post to nothin, as it was set at 10 meaning u had to enter 10 characters at least to be able to submit your post, and frankly it got annoying. :D

EDIT: It's now been brought back upto 5 characters, because some of the security started to whinge.

You should also change the '30 seconds between each search rule'

it's not really gonna solve anything, if somebody was gonna type lol, all they'd have to do is "lol.."

that's very true..

There is only one problem with it, and that problem is: it's freaking annoying!

We never had the 10 character limit before, why now?
I say take it all off..

and thanks for helping us out Darcy :D

Well, I personally would prefer it at 0 but 5 is fine if it has to be 5. :)

It was always at 10 Cid..

AND, it would solve it at 10, coz people would type lol, then realise, after attempting to post they need decent stuff, so they would lengthen:P anway not up to me, just someones opinon..

ok banning the word 'lol' was extreme but now people can type in less than 5 letter words in the quick reply box observe:

(sorry about double post)

I think it should stay at 5 because it is alot to be 10.
Cause if someone typed:

Agreed then it would be over the 5 but under the 10 and this typer would be annoyed.
Tell me if i made any sence.
