    Tut, tut Meister.

    Does Admin/Mods actually have the power to remove it? Could be a stupid question but just wondering if its included in the whole system.

    Yes we can change it. It was lowered to 1 for a while, but we simply got too many silly posts with just one character so raised it again. As Afanof said, make a case and we can discuss it.

    The thing is do we want posts which are just a smiley? Does it add anything? I know I'm guilty of doing it myself.:forehead:

    Good points and I can't disagree. But what about a simple yes or no reply? Maybe suggest putting it down to 3?

    Just annoying if you want to quickly answer someones question.

    You should make it a 400 word minimum.

    That would weed out the men from the boys.

    Just mash the keyboard after your smiley, it takes like half a second
