Just to clarify, most members have no post per day limit. The 5 post limit is only turned on to slow down members that post excessively. The 10 character minimum is what is intended to prevent "LOL" and "X2!" type replies. Unfortunately that doesn't always work as members pad their short replies with other characters.
