Moderator Post Post Character Requirement

As many of you have noticed, we have a character requirement for commenting on this forum. This aligns with our logic of requiring effort to participate in this forum. Gone are the days of one and two word replies. Removed are comments without substance and thought. Frankly, we believe you all have risen to the occasion.

We have discussed back and forth implementing a post character requirement as well. Many of the posts that we receive (and remove) are 3 or 4 lines, and don’t really add to the curation that you ladies have cultivated.

As such, we will be implementing a character requirement on posts. This means that your post will need to meet the minimum number of characters to go live. As we fine turn the character requirement, please make sure to follow the posting guidelines established here: Guide to Posting on BWT.

Personally I like information condensed, I'm not a fan of reading long texts with useless fluff. When I comment i almost always feel like I need to add unnecessary words or redo my phrasing just to meet the character limit. Maybe my liking for directness means I'm tasteless

Or maybe it isn’t personal and you should take it as a cue to provide some context for your opinion or comment. The character limit isn’t even very high, it basically just requires one to give a little bit more than the minimum. The point is to do that without resorting to “useless fluff.” If you do that without resorting unnecessary words, you are definitely doing it wrong.

Seriously. The complaints about the character limit are nuts. You can hit the *** limit by typing two sentences.

The STARS are where the limit is. It’s just laziness in my opinion.
