Minimum Word Limit

[LongHairedFreakyGuy]

Ok, so this could just be a case of me getting too old for the modern internet, and so I don't expect this to be implemented, but no harm in trying, right, and hearing the argument against the suggestion. But browsing a lot of the topics on the forum, but there is just an abundance of posts that are either just a gif/video, and have absolutely no words to compliment it, thus it doesn't really add anything meaningful to the post/conversation, and again this is me maybe harking back to the old days, but for me a forum is meant to be about conversing about subjects, and actually putting some thought in to the post. I get it might seem slightly killjoy, especially in the VI section where a lot of the members tend to reply in such fashion, but...

 

Not even a high minimum word limit, maybe just like each post requires 10 words?

A couple things... Although this used to be a feature in some forum packages, it really no longer is on most of the ones I've used and seen the AdminCP's of, unfortunately.

 

Secondly, word count filters don't actually work for those image-only posts because the actual HTML/BB code contents of the post are much more than 1-10 words. Image replies have always kind of been a thing, and excessive use is still frowned-upon and should be reported.

 

Back then (late 2000's/early 10's) people would already post rage comics in reaction to things every so often, now it's just that meme culture is a lot bigger, and communication has changed quite a bit. A couple reaction images are okay, because that's the only way some younger people seem to be able to communicate, but obviously not spam. In part things have just changed online
