It stops those damn dirty trolls, but it means we can't post short snappy answers, which are often required.

I find that they are often required when I need to post something to congratulate someone when they have put a good debate, or to just say 'thanks' if a questions has been answered I didn't know the answer to.

Notice I don't have 50 characters. It's easy to bypass.

No. Trolls can easily get past the character limit (ahjfj). And it limits the effectiveness of debates that would normally only require short character answers.

of course,,, even though it is not a dumb joke...

ugh... just like now

I don't like it at all because if I want a short answer then I have to write more then what I want to write. I personally think that you should get rid of it totally.

It's purpose is to improve the quality of debate and to reduce 'trolling.'

There are a few problems with that.

1) What is more "troll"-like? A 10 character spam message or a 500 character spam message?

2) It is so easy to get around its utility (if it had any to begin with) has already been nullified.

50 Characters is just too much. I can sum up some of my post in 25 characters. I hope they will take this down. Trolls will get past it anyway by spelling out random letters or dots. Just please get rid of it. I beg you.

i think it is annoying. sometimes the answer only requires one short answer. if it's under 50 characters, you have to add rubbish.

It's annoying, for if i want to give a straight forward answer like " Of course not." i have to strain it in to " Well, sir, i would like to say that in my opinion, obviously not! However you can say whatever you would like to, sir!"

Yah and it really is irritating

The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible.

I'm potentially going to stop using CD because of this 50 character limit. I understand the reason for it; but it's frustrating and unnecessary. I can only hope that the owners of CD take note and think about that users/customers want.
