Announcement! Title Character Counts (Min and Max).

[Writing Home]

Hello, my Lovelies!

So, I forgot to mention this earlier, but I just played with it again, so all is well.

To avoid spam and overly-long thread titles, we have placed a maximum and minimum.

• The Minimum is set to 3 characters. This is because "Hey" is a valid title for the introduction forums.
  Any shorter and we open ourselves to the possibility of rapid spam content, and we'd rather set a minimum to titles versus a heavy delay set between when you can post.
  
  
• The maximum is set to 80 (it was 60, but it was just extended).
  While we don't want to suppress creativity, we want users to focus on titles that assist the reader in knowing what is inside. Unfortunately, long song lyrics, poems, and passages are not as useful. The long titles also severely clutter and disorganize the look of the threads and the sidebars.
  You can still post song lyrics and the like, but only to 80-characters.
  
  The current maximum is still enough to write a decent topic such as: "Female searching for male for a adventure 1 x 1", which is only 36 characters counting spaces.

We understand some may not like this restriction, but for safety from spam posting and to keep the forums from being cluttered (spam posting can do this as well), we wanted to find a decent halfway-point where it was fair for the users and also proper for the site.

Thank you for understanding. :)
