So far, total posts in favor of limiting child chars in favor appear to be 3 in favor, 3 not in favor, and three 'it depends on how we limit'. In general, I think some limits may be appropriate given the vote. May I see some people's ideas on HOW it ought to be done? So far, we've got the following ...

<edited out by Kinaed - see subsequent post> You'll see this if I think the quote posted was a bit too insulting to someone. I know sometimes it's funny to put someone else down, especially if done cleverly, but quotes like that will not be preserved as quit quotes, and I'd rather not see them poste...
