As you all know, there is a minimum for post length. Despite much reluctance and much arguing most of you have been following this minimum pretty well, and I thank you for that.
I have been lenient with the RP post length minimum and have let most of you slide on things that weren't quite long enough but still contained a decent amount of detail, which is the entire point of having the minimum.
However our numbers have really gone up recently, and I am having trouble keeping up with all the posts that are both not long enough and lack in detail, and I'm sure these newer members are getting tired of receiving PMs from me asking them to fix their posts for not having enough detail.
So, I have solved the problem altogether. None of you should be receiving any more PMs from me concerning post length, possible about detail, but no longer length. No, I'm sorry but the rule has not been abolished, though I'm sure most of you wish that was what I'm getting at. What I have done is to code the RP boards so that the "Submit Post" button will not work until you have made the post at or above 120 characters in length.
I'm sorry that it has come to this, but I don't really have a choice at this point. I avoiding taking such measures for quite some time now, but now I have to in order to keep up with more important matters then checking the length of each and ever post.
Most of you should have no trouble with this since you're already posting long enough to get past the lock. The others however may experience a few frustrating moments when the post will not submit. Don't worry, you will grow used to posting at the necessary length in a little while and will be able to submit posts without any problems.
