Tun off the "post too short" warning

Turn off the "post too short" warning

I hate the 20 character minimum for post replies. Can we get rid of it?
It helps prevent spam but most of the time it's just annoying. I can't reply something like "how come" to another post without having to stick extra unneeded words in there

I think it is good to have, especially with the post contest Jon is running. Not that it is hard to type 20 random letters but it prevents post like:

Yes or
Lol or

lol

I didn't even know that that warning existed. Seem like a pretty clever way to thwart contest cheaters.

yes

don't post stupid worthless lols and you don't have to worry about it.

If your response to a post is less than 20 characters, you should perhaps rethink the value of your reply

Alright since so many of you don't like it maybe we can turn it off just for me

Depends what you reply is in context to, if you're wanting to question someone over something they said, you can't really reword "Why's that?" to a paragraph.

Sometimes people are looking for yes/no answers or just numbers though.

It says that it is a 10 char minimum now; has it been reduced?

 

[peach]

I think 10 is default.
