    Hello!
    What does my title mean you ask? Well you should know that when posting a reply to a thread and your post count is too short, it’ll say that your post needs to have a minimum of 5 characters. But this happens to me a lot and it gets really annoying when THIS shows up on my screen:
    63C05E7F-A161-4DEF-A0B9-CDD688B07ECC.jpeg
    Now OBVIOUSLY that post contains 8 TOTAL CHARACTERS WHICH IS 3 MORE THAN 5 (Omg he can do math?!)!
    And yea yea I know you can bypass this by setting the color to black before typing anything and you can just put “I” and it’ll allow to post, but I want this to be fixed with posts that are OBVIOUSLY 5 characters or more.

    Thanks for reading!

    Support. Doesn't make sense how 8 characters should be restricted when you need at least 5 characters to post.

    I actually tried to post something that was more than 8 characters like maybe about 10 and it still came up the same error message.

    It would be nice to have an explanation on why this is the case. 5 doesn't mean 5 and it does get frustrating if you think you have enough characters then need to add bbcode or write more.

    I think it should just be fixed in discussion, help etc where posts are actually counted towards your number, but in off-topic and places where it doesn’t count, there shouldn’t be a limit on the amount of words. Support.

    I’m literally lost on what you’re trying to say...
    But I’ll take your support.

    First of all, Support. I would really like to see this fixed.
    Gamzee24 Southwark is trying to say that the character limit should be fixed, but in forums where posting doesn't increase your post count, like forum games, the character limit should be removed totally.

    Support, this can be really confusing. I remember when I first joined it was annoying because I thought it was just me, as I was typing over 5 characters :p
