I have a suggestion for the Message Board.

Submitted by Pontiac on November 21, 2025
I have noticed that when creating threads, there is no minimum characters required. In my opinion, I think that that contributes to low quality threads on the Meassage Board. I think a minimum amount of characters of around 50-100 characters would get the job done.

I have recently seen a thread with the only text being a lonely '.'

(Also can someone explain what a Meta post is?)

Nice idea. I think a meta thread is a thread explaining what a thread is. Idk, that's what reddit said.

A meta thread is just a thread about the state of the message board (e.g. Recent Message Board Events)

In my defense, the question was quick and simple. That’s all it needed.

putting “title” in the body text is usually standard internet practice in that situation btw

To be fair, I disagree, sometimes the title of the message board post is all that needs to be said

The message board doesn't need to be high quality it's a place where people ask questions and get answers to them

But it allows low quality, spam-like posts

I think we solved that issue back in April
