Can this rule also be the reason why some people usually go off topic, so they can meet up to the required number of characters needed by campaign managers.
One of the first things I noticed when I joined here is that people generally tend to write longer posts than in other forums I've been active on. So, instead of making a clear point in a few sentences, they repeat the same idea in different words, and stretch simple thoughts into full paragraphs without adding real value, thinking that it will look better when managers check their posts, and wanting to make sure that they get paid for them.
Longer posts are sometimes needed ofc, but more often than not its just a fluff.
Right. There are several tools where fans of being verbose could check how much of their texts contain useful "thoughts" and how much "water". Very often, "water" literally "floods" one small thought.
