Minimum Post Character Count

[Gruss]

Hey MCM,

I have a pretty good suggestion for this community that would decrease a lot of the "shit posting", a minimum character count for posts. This could be any number, but I suggest 15 or more characters.

Rate agree if you agree of this and write your responses/ideas below! I'd love to hear them!

How about a minimum word count of 15?

Hello,

Personally I am not sure, I would love to see what everyone thinks. Add a poll.

Kind regards,

Lol, not 15 words, that is a bit much.

Not really. It would eliminate a lot of the lower quality, unwanted posts.[DOUBLEPOST=1447703074,1447703041][/DOUBLEPOST]15 words, meant for Original post, not replies.

Edited: as I see now you meant the original post.
Still... Eh.... More words doesn't necessarily mean it's not still a shet post. xD
It might discourage the typical lazy ratings farming though...

I can definitely see this changing what we consider shetposting... But I doubt shetposting will ever go away.

Designing this into the site seems like more of a pain than it's worth.

From what I see, the staff are handling shetposting well enough as it is currently.
If you see a shetpost, just report it.
It's that simple.

Nah, 15 characters would be sufficient.[DOUBLEPOST=1447704685,1447704551][/DOUBLEPOST]

It works on HF, It's caused me to post much more detailed and thoughtful messages than just "I agree."

Considering you have 900 post and been here for a month this is a good thing to be added to eliminate people who post as much as you

True, he's been banned for post farming.

BUMP.

This will fk up the appraisal section and when people bump their threads. I think it's better to just report a shitpost and have a mod delete it.

Unfortunately this has been denied in the past and right now it is no different. Doge summed it up pretty well:
