Maybe PM Spartanlax because he posts long BTB shows all the time, so he should be able to tell you how to get round the posting limit (If there is a way).
This is a new rule that was inplaced, we can't post our shows in parts, its NOT ALLOWED, so how can we post shows now? We can't post it in parts, but we have 2, so what are we suppose to do?
Edit: DavidEFC, this text limit was JUST inplaced in, so I posted shows before that were huge, and lots of others, but now we can't due to this....
I don't think it's a very fair rule at all, maybe an Admin will come in and explain to us why this is going on, because otherwise we cannot post in BTB properly.
if you were posting a PPV, you would have to post it like 20 times dude if it was big enough...., and shows like 5-10 times actually the PPV's could be more then that...
Ill have to look into this more. Last night there was a huge problem with people spamming the board to get points so it was limited. You guys have any suggestions?

I was under the impression that you got a set number of points per post which would mean the number of characters in a post doesn't matter. Unless i have been misinformed and the number of characters determine the amount of points received

Why not just ban people that spam up the forum like that one guy did last night? Most people don't even know it's points per character so they're going to continue to post the same. If anything they'll just stretch out their post to gain more points and that's not so bad is it? People who deliberately spam in their posts to get points should be banned.
That or is there any way to just turn the thing off in the BTB section? Aside from DVD reviews, posts don't exceed the limit that often outside of the BTB section.
I don't know if it's that easy but those just my ideas.
literally though, your murdering BTB and taking down the activity a lot doing this. Now people are not going to be posting shows until this is resolved, why don't you just change it back and bann the members that spam and make their posts huge? It wasn't hard a week ago? Why is it hard now?
I don't think you read the post. It's not people just replying with yes, no and then posting it it's people who copy and paste one word over and over again in the one post so the size of the post is massive.
That was happening yesterday.
There is no need to have a minium amount of characters to be entered to be able to post.
Well if that rule is going to stay, then can it be shut off in the BTB section? Like how posts don't count in the word games and rants section, should this rule be shut off in the BTB section? Because if it's not, then the BTB section is pretty much dead.
Suggestion: Make a new rule that you can post your show in parts, but the show must be done and each post for the part of the show must be a minute within each other to show that you have to show done.

I've seen that work on other forums, where they post into each segment up to a commercial, then create a new post for the next segment.
However, this would end up meaning bookers get to make 6 posts just for a show, which in turn boosts their count, and also breaks the rules (double / triple posting). I guess for the BTB section, the double posting rules could be relaxed, as long as it is for posting shows only. At the moment though, it appears this might be the only solution.

It'd be ALOT more for ppv's. This whole thing bites, I really want to post my show, I worked hard on it.
The thing is, this is going to screw up everyone's schedule. My partner and I are trying to follow the WWE, but now we're behind on posting because of this rule, and other people are falling off their schedules as well. Please Admin, fix this soon.
Oh gimme a break ok.... It will KILL BTB, we have 150,000 members, a good 100 of them have threads, most of them bad. A lot of them spam it up, if you give them an open reason, they will have a field day with BTB, that will NEVER work, unless BTB and Super Mods are on 24/7 which they aren't and they watch over BTB over and over which they usually don't....
Just put it back, and bann the members that abuse the point system and cheat in it, or get rid of the points system, and find a new system to use, that would butcher the #1 Forum on the site, because BTB is one of the big parts of WF, Why can't we just put it back, if you perma bann the people who do this they can't comeback and usually aren't smart enough to.....

That's just too complicated. A better solution would be too disallow the rule for the BTB section (meaning the rule wouldn't apply in that section. Sort of the way that posts don't count in the Word Games section.)
