I'll have to ask forgiveness for not reading all 53 pages of this thread, so if this random complaint has already come up and been beaten to death, then that's my bad.

This isn't something I've encountered explicitly on RPG (at least, not yet--the night is still young and whatnot seeing as I've only recently joined), but just something I've come across fairly often on other RP forums: minimum length requirements per post.

This is different from [i]recommended[/i] lengths, which serve as a rule of thumb to elicit more detail than just "he said, she said, he ran, she ran." 

While I tend to align my posting style with the GM's demands out of respect for the hard work they've put into creating a RP, I personally do not feel comfortable with RPs that demand "at least x number of paragraphs per post." My philosophy has always been "If you can do everything you need and want to do in one line, then do it in one line." Obviously, this is an extreme, but the point is I've come across RPs that emphasize quantity over quality and have always found myself a little annoyed when a GM PMs me saying "Your latest post is one paragraph short of the requirements." At least give me a reason other than length, even if you have to lie about it. I would gladly edit a post if I was unclear, or if I forgot to address something I should have, but requiring useless fluff just to meet min. reqs. is a little offensive to the craft and process of writing.

Concision is an art form, I believe, one I'm still struggling heavily to improve in my writing style, and I really can't put up with people who want length for the sake of length.
