At the moment, users can add [spoiler][/spoiler] (with no hidden text) to their posts in order to bypass the min post length that’s been set for a site - & our users are doing this.
Characters from quotes of other posts aren’t counted towards the post’s length so this seems inconsistent.
There are & I can see his point it would be helpful to get rid of this one but I guess what you’re saying is that it’s down to the site’s moderators to intervene if it’s being abused, which is fair enough.
