10 character rule is wack!

c'mon you cant even post bump or a smiley with out adding a bunch of dot dot dots

F the 10 character limit. . . and the post limiter. . . what is this crap

[MugsyTheGr8]

:mmad:
i hate this shit too. im gonna start posting little shit in white letters in all my short post expressing my distaste for the rule

[D3xn2o]

There's a limiter?:mrolleyes:

[Strife]

I understand the point, as every post should contain something constructive. But I feel that whoever made this decision didn't think about it thoroughly. There's some instances in which it would just be irritating and a pain in the ass.

I wish EPHatch would stop trying to set so many rules and regulations, I realize it's what sets this forum apart from others. But it's starting to feel less fun and more like fascism. :mrolleyes:

[SinisterCivicSi]

takes 3 and a third of pie to complete a post.. it's perfect to me

*thread reopened - thanks for your patience*


we found another way to fix the issue at hand. so the limiter will be reversed. thank you for the reminder.


the limiter has been lowered. the amount of postwhoring on the site was getting out of hand, so we were trying different ways of getting it under some control.


does anyone have any questions to any changes going on?

[jerseyjew]

awesomest!

[Alex857]

I think its alright. I mean..maybe its just me but every board ive been on or whatever, i dont think ive ever only posted one word or smiley lol

[BobSassafrass]

I get tired of sifting through 40 posts of smileys and one words just to find the few that have relevant information. It's kind of rediculous how many people get there post count up that way.

Fucking aye. I find myself visiting more and more other Honda forums rather than this one. I understand some of the rules, but a few of them are pretty ridiculous. Is making a ten character minimum really going to help with post whoring that much? (I know that it is no longer in effect, just using that as an example.)

What rules do you find ridiculous?

And yes the postwhoring was so far out of control it wasnt funny, when some punk is replying to 20 posts a day with nothing but smilies and 3 letter replies just to sell crap. These rules are not brought about to make your life difficult, it is to protect you and others from douchebags and scam artists. (though the 10 character limit did make it a pain for the ones who have followed the rules).

And as stated before, if you have a legitimate concern, then send a mod or admin a pm and we can discuss it. We are not gonna jump your shit or anything for making suggestions(as long as they are not nasty:tehehyper:)LOL

not anymore. :mwink: we found a more effective way to fix the postwhores. so far so good.



at least we have active moderators that actually do their job!

:bow:

we take our site seriously, and thats why its so successful. nuff said. :mbiggrin:

and its a mute point to bring up something that no longer exists as a rule... kinda like :horse:

and golan loves the nasty pm's... keeps him busy at work.

seriously though, the staff here are here to help - so if there is a concern, gripe, or you just need to vent, we are here. *DISCLAIMER* this does not mean you act like an asshat either.... most all situations can be discussed in an adult manner without being rude. rude will only get your pm deleted, you black-listed (or worse) and basically - ignored. we all enjoy healthy discussion. :mbiggrin:

AND staff shouldnt be dismissing your concern or being rude because you have a legitimate question or concern... if this is happening then i or oogy-boogy need to be told.

Would it be possible to just limit the post rules to sections where they actually go towards your post count? I was just shot down twice for the same post making a worthless comment in off topic, both for the 5 character minimum and apparenly because you can't post in all caps.

yeah all caps were blocked when members started complaining about some members because they typed everything in caps. this was taken as someone "yelling" at the other(s) and panties got knotted. so to shut up all the complainers (its the internet, geebus) we had to put that up. so... as they say... for the sins of others... :mfrown:

I was mainly interested in my first question. I really have no idea what vbulletin can do.

[jimmy`]

i never realized that maybe thats why, all my posts are always short, but i do add smilies to make it look like a did put some input.. :wow:

gayzors....:mfrown:

i say fuck the complainers, seriously....



edit: just read what i typed....looks kinda mean. didn't mean for it to be. sorry. i guess i'm in a bad mood, i have a thermo test in 40 minutes.

i understand destroying the abusers, but every once in a while, yelling a word is necessary. e.g. "search[caps]".

everyone complains when newbies ask questions like: what does ep mean?
we all give witty/angry remarks about searching. this doesn't mean that the mods should make a correction that brings up the search page every time you click on "new thread". kinda over kill.
but sure....punish all for one


oh and i like the idea of getting rid of min. character rule in off-topic...."lol" should be acceptable.


edit: sorry, i just read this and noticed i sound a little harsh. i don't mean to sound angry. i guess i am just in a bad mood, i have a thermo test in 40 mins.:nervous:

damnit....sorry i knew it was confusing... english language>me

it was an example, used to fix the noob-not-searching problem. as to compare to the no-caps rule because people abuse it.....
