By which I mean place some arbitrary limit the size of each post. My limited attention span is just not up to taking in some of the walls of text I encounter in Spirituality, and I'm not even young.
'gr8,cn't w8!' ...sadly, due to unsolicited nonsense texts being forwarded to my own fone, I now seem perfectly able to 'translate' such tripe at a moments notice... but I'm relieved nobody has tried to post anything remotely sms speak in any RHP forum ....welllll, that that I'm aware of anyway 😉

Hey, before you all decide to condense whatever 'real estate' is available here, some of us actually use the 9997 characters or whatever it is...it's a full page anyway ( I think it's the same characters in-game also as anyone that cares to yap to me will testify to that fact ).. leave it well alone, I just can't see what difference it makes, the space is there if you want it and if you care not to utilise nor read it's 'extent' then just bloody well ignore it !
Originally posted by RevRSleekerMaybe we should implement a feature that would still allow 10000 characters per post, but only display 2000 characters per post at first. If you want to see the whole post, you can click on an 'expand' button and show the whole post. This would allow those who want cleaner navigation through the forums to avoid any screeds they don't want to read, yet still allow the windier posts to be read if people want to read them.

..and, a little off topic, the thought just occurred to me that if you can 'disable' in-game comments by the same 'expand' method you mention, then it'd be an easy fix for us to disable any persons comments 'across site' only until we wish to expand and read them...perhaps that's how the 'ignore' feature works anyway ?
