Can I suggest that, a post shouldn't be allowed to be sent if the word 'thanks', 'thx', 'like' or any string similar exist in it and the post length is less than 12 characters.

That's actually a nice suggestion Abry. I wonder if there's a mod for that in VB.
Or just dont be lazy and report the post. Moderators have nothing better to do so :):
So you are asking that any posts under 12 characters which consists of thanks, thx, like or such is banned?Quote:

We're seeing the same scheme all the time.
Yes. Conditions may be changed, depending on anyone's suggestion.Quote:

So instead of having easy tidy ups for people who say thanks, we now need to read an essay about why people say thanks.... I don't know. It may help it may not.
You're not getting the point. My suggestion would give people the choice to either simply use the like feature or post something contributive as possible.Quote:
