Lookin for YOUR opinion on Postin like a fool!

Personally, I don't care how it's handled. I frequent a few boards that use minimum character counts and have no problem with it. Sometimes I end up posting a "plus 1" to second an idea and then just add "eighteen characters" to fill the requirement. I understand some simple one or two word respsonses that are still appropriate.

Just an idea to add - over on a local RC board for my area, you are able to veiw, but not start threads in the BST section until the admins approve you. That way, anyone can post any number of one word repsonses and it has no effect if they are just signed up for another place to try and sell thier stuff. Of course, being a local one or 2 state regional / club sort of forum there's not so much traffic as this board gets, so it might not be a realistic option here.
