Forum etiquette - double-posting vs separating ideas?

[HyoMinPark]

The only time they even consider "likes" is in feedback threads for the Live letter, and even then, most of that is ignored in favor of softball questions.

Nah, most are probably ignored because people ask questions that aren’t related to the topic of the thread. Like asking the creator of Ivalice job balancing questions. Or asking the person in charge of the STF questions about future glamour options. I can’t even fault devs for ignoring questions from the NA side because people don’t read the threads and just ask whatever.

The character limit is a Japanese thing. Ever see a Japanese novel? It's 1/10th the size of an English one of the same story. This also also why Twitter increased the post size for the non-east-asian languages.

Both the character limit and the post limits are anti-spam measures. Because apparently the 1.0 forums had issues with that. Hence 1,000 characters only/20 posts per day.
