Necroing a 0-day old Thread?

Because it would costs too much and the money would run out :p
So make the AI maintain the site and pay for it. By, I dunno, writing and selling fiction! I mean, it's a self-aware AI that was formed based on a site with lots and lots of fiction, and we are what we eat, so if it consumes enough fanfics and Quests and homebrew, it's gotta be the most writeous writer on the net, right? Right?
 
I'm not sure I've really every seen a vote so short it would trip a character limit? Usually he form at is [x] [some pretty specific stuff]. Even when that gets shortened to [X] [Name], it's rare to be that short.
The speciic stuff pretty much only gets over a dozen or so words long if it's multi-part and/or multi-level. Choosing between a bunch of long sentences is relatively unusual.
And it's not too uncommon to have a vote where pretty much all the replies would be names (which are almost never over a dozen words long, and often as short as a few characters).

AH.com used to have a 10 character minimum post limit. (Might still have it, not sure.) Good thing it didn't have quests - if it ever happened to host a quest with a(t least one) No choice, nearly every post with it would've been under.
 
Testing.

EDIT: lol that was underwhelming :p

What's the reply limit set to, anyway?

20 words for this thread by the looks of it. Any member of the staff can change it as they see fit.

Yes I just sort of abused my modly powers to figure out what the word limit was set to. It was for a higher cause. This cause.

Or... something. Blergh.
 
Wordcount counter at the bottom right of the edit box, perhaps. Could have it be red whilst the post is under the wordcount limit, green above, maybe yellow approaching it.
Just remember colourblind-OK design. Red-green isn't a great idea for such a warning.
I believe Red/Blue should be fine, if memory serves, but that would require that you leave out the yellow part, since some see blue as yellow.

Do I remember right?

Red-green colourblindness is the most common variant by far - as well as the version that runs into the problematic common convention of "red is bad, green is good". Something which affects red-green colourblindness hits 6-10% of the population (it varies significantly by region), while other variants are less than 1%.


That's why it helps to put icons with any colour-coded warning, like a little boxed exclamation mark, rather than relying purely on colour warnings.

Shows assuming makes a ass of me in the first place, I assumed the boxes would be some sort of icon.
