Message Limited To 15 Characters Text.

This is just to inform our members that posting a message less or equal to 15 characters will not be posted.

This will serve as a spam prevention to those spammers.

Just use report if you see a spam that are triggered by smiles (Eg.:wow:) or to much use of ellipsis or dots/periods (Eg. ...) so a moderator of that section can take appropriate action.

Thank you especially to our dear admin.

Good day...

Re: Message Limited To 15 Characters Text.

Thanks for ur post and admin for clarification =) Hope everyone will read and understand that the short comments are no longer acceptable. :thumbsup:  Would be great if the forum rules could be updated to include this change.

this is a good step to help us lessen the spammers here in the boards.  I have seen lots of spam comments (thanks for this, thanks 4 blah blah + smileys..., etc..) and were able to "by-pass" the 15-character minimum limit... but if most of us will coordinate in "reporting" a post which we consider as spam, we could achieve (if not a spam-free) but at least a "spam-less" forum.

God bless us all!

Re: Message Limited To 15 Characters Text.

Just out of curiosity...

How about in some threads of the music section?  Like the 'Alphabet of Music Artists' or "A-Z Song Titles' ?  Sometimes it's hard to exceed that 15 character limit if the song title or artist is short (Ne-Yo, DMX, etc for example).  As long as you're giving an appropriate response to the thread, if you have to add a smiley after to exceed that 15 character minimum will that be okay?  I'm hoping.

Anyway, great idea, though to help limit the spammers.  Thanks to Admin for that.


FTalk and Rockstars....There's been ups and downs, but it's been fun.  But all good things must come to an end.  I'm done.  Thanks for everything.

Please find below quote from Ephe for your kind reference:

Note:  I have "bolded" the word spam to differentiate the posts between a spam and a proper response to a certain thread.  In that case, I believe that responses to such threads like in the Music Sec are not considered as spam, since you are just following the "format" according to the thread requirements.  I hope that MODS have the same views...

Thanks a lot!

Bro. Jie

^ Yeah, I figured that it's okay if you're following the format of the thread, but I'm just hoping for clarification.  I'm pretty sure that the Mods will find it acceptable, however I'm not the Mods so I can't speak for them.  :D

Re: Message Limited To 15 Characters Text.

Just being frank. Using to much periods or ellipsis like -

wa...... why.... are... you <words go here>....

It will just make you look like an idiot. Anyway, If you can't type anything nice. Go away. :penguin:
