10 character limit

10 characters is too much.

Does anyone else agree?

To get around the 10 character limit, you can use space. If it's a two word post, leave some space between the two words, and it'll come normally when you post and won't throw up a 10 char error at you.

You can type junk if you want, but I thought this was pretty cool.

Space only works when there are two words, though.

sure there's ways around it, but it's annoying when all i want to say is no or yes or some other short 1 word answer

I think it'd be better if the two were:
3 character limit (for a yes or no. answer)
30 second rule (at least it's not 60 )

There is a 30 second rule, but that's for searching. No two searches within 30 seconds!
