25 character post limit....BAD!!!

I'm not sure if this is to help stop spammers but I just dont' feel the need for this rule. Often times, I'll help people out with a quick link, or a 2 word response... now I need to fill up the sentence with junk...

I realize the last thread got closed, but I'm hoping this one stays civil.

Poll question:
do you like the limit???

If it stopped the stupid posts I would say, "great!", but it doesn't work.

If it stops all the dumbasses clogging the boards with "good job" and "pie" then I'm all for it.

"Good Job.................." would meet this requirement.

This poll should be in a forum that newer forum members actually visit.

Blame the people who don't seem to be able to post more than one word at a time, which burns up space on our servers and wastes money and time for everyone.
