Seems reasonable that the minimum here is 1, because you can’t have a reply with less than 1. Or am I missing something?

I would be careful about lowering this from the default because it’s one of the things that prevents your forum from turning into chat. I guess you can always raise the limit again if you start seeing alot of low value one character replies.
