Can't you like, start enforcing it more, or if not, just get rid of the limit?
It annoys me to see YOU NEED TO HAVE 10 CHARACTERS but it also annoys me to see 10char after short posts

It is also because people who explain everything the next person below can't just quote him and walk off without even typing, like how I would've done if there wasn't a limit. :)

I've seen forums where people can just quote a post and reply with an emoticon.

why can't you accept the fact that 10 characters is low and if you can't think of 10 characters or more to put then you shouldn't be posting in the first place.
