3000 characters is not enough.

[Amarande]

Apparently there is some "quote exploit" to go beyond 3000. I don't know how it works.

Being an alleged exploit, that sounds ban-risky, but aside that: Quotes don't help you go beyond 3000. They actually eat up your characters.

Literally just edit your post. This is no character limit.

True, but it seems an unnecessary inconvenience that ought to swish-swish-aroo its way out of here.

Or just get to the point already

This basically is the point, or rather, points. The problem is when you're trying to catch up on a thread and want to reply to multiple posts. Even if you try and make concise points, if there's several things to reply to you're going to hit the limit and have to screw around with edits.

Unless we want to do away with actual discussion and just move everything to Tweet style EVERYWHERE, where everything is just done via strict one liners and like/dislike votes unless you're invested enough to set up hosting and a site and literally link a full scale article?

If you can explain something using less words, do it. No need to be long winded.

I expect this is more of a culture clash. I guess you can always tell which of us grew up on authors like King, Bradley, Tolkien, Jordan, and Carey. Yanno, "never use one word when ten will do"
