Maybe make it 12-15?

I mean, what about questions like:
What happened here?
What does Tier Shift mean?

What happens to those kinds? Sometimes some people don't know how to phrase it and type something else.

I agree in lowering it to 15 characters or so, not cancelling it entirely.
I agree with Terlor. Not removing the limit but put a new limit as 12-15.
Honestly if you don't know how to phrase it, that's your problem, not the character limit. "What happened here" isn't a very good title, it explains nothing about the question.
I agree with fizz. Btw if you don't know how to phrase something properly then in the description, describe what you're asking as best as you possibly can and an Expert+ will edit your post to make it more practical.

What is the character limit for the title when asking a question anyway? :s
This question confuses me. Do you want an increase or a decrease of the character limit? Because if you don't know how to phrase it, you generally type too much, meaning you go over the limit. However, 12-15 is well, well under the limit. So I honestly have no idea what you're getting at.
Yeah I'm slightly confused about the question myself, the title says "Please remove the title character limit.", yet in the description it says "Maybe make it 12-15?". Do you want to get rid of it altogether or increase/decrease it :s xD
Dan, the title character limit is currently 20.
I like how this is a question referring to how some people don't know how to phrase a question when the title isn't phrased correctly itself.
Yeah, I have no idea what you mean... lowering it to 12-15? Or increasing it to 12-15?
BTW "What does Tier Shift mean?" is 21 characters. It's allowed I guess...?

I reduced the characters on RMT and Meta to 10, should be plenty. I'm not gonna reduce it on Pokebase though, if you need "filler" then you haven't asked the question properly.

>As for comments, you can just say "yes that's right" or something. The minimum is only 6. It's to prevent pointless inane comments like "lol".
