Default "Maximum Number of letters"

It seems the current “Maximum Number of letters” in contests is set at 8 (By default) and some contest holders leave it as is without thinking about it, which always necessitates back and forth about changing it to something more reasonable.

Why not default the “Maximum Number of letters” to 15/Unlimited and let contest holders actively change it to “8” if that is exactly what they want?

@lightless I totally agree. We are wasting our/CH’s time. It must be confusing to CH’s when they start receiving jumbled words and what they really wanted was Black & White Marketing Group.

Agree, then they comment that “more” letters are okay…but don’t change the limit, because they don’t understand that it limits us.

Yes. We’re releasing an update that will fix this. It should go live within the next 48 hours.

Default is now, “I don’t have a preference,” and minimum number of characters has been increased to 10.

Thank you @Grant! No more 8 letter contests!

Thank you! This will help a lot!

That’s great. Even 10 is pushing it, in my opinion.

I agree - I could live with 12, however. :wink:
