Actually I think Matthew's the reason blank posting is banned, not Richard. He basically said it was pointless spam and it takes up unnecessary server load for the site.
Because it is in the rules. Richard said it wasn't allowed so you can take it up with him if you want it to be allowed again.
Its abusing site mechanics, and its not going to change
I can't see that it does any harm, so I've never understood this rule, but if sythe wants it, then he can have it. Not that it'd make that much difference, the SF would be even shitter quality
How is ending blank posts going to make the SF worse? They are just blank posts and do nothing whatsoever aside from take up server load for a post that doesn't contain anything. Why people want to blank post so hard I'll never know.
Lol newfags, not everyone knows how to blank post, it's not going to lessen the quality, all of you newfags would just be wondering how to, and the goon squad can call you all newfags and tell you to go fuck yourselves.
Also, site mechanics? Give me a fucking break rofl, when Sythe banned them he was mainly pissed about the fake infraction things.
Get off your high horses, faggots. Blank posting is fun, and Laptop seriously, shut the fuck up, you know nothing about databases, it doesn't take up shit, especially with Sythe's new HA setup. There's absolutely no reason to keep it banned.
So yeah, Sythe, my nigga, can you unban that shit, so I can be cool again???

While posting unprintable unicode characters has no negative effect on the site (that I know of) it is silly. Bbcode tricks, on the other hand, may have negative effects.
The blanket ban on abusing site mechanics is appropriate and remains. We will however change the rules so you can unicode blank post in the spam forums.
