I think it would be nice to limit the number of characters in a vendor tread (which are for reviews). Maybe 250? 300? It should be very easy to fit 3 things in that amount of space.
1. Date ordered/shipped
2. Product
3. Quality
And for non sy vendors the Packaging Rating (NOT DESCRIPTION).
When a review is 11 paragraphs long, and 3 people quote it because they still did not include vital info (like dates or quality) it can be quitea headache to read. I know that Miss Cat & Mrs. 2E do a fantastic job, but this could help them out too, since they also have real lives and obligations, and cannot read every post in every tread.
There have been a lot of posts lately that start out like so:
I woke up a little tired. The sunlight was just starting to creep through my blinds and I knew my alarm would be going off in a little bit. As I rose out of bed, I grabbed my newest iphone and typed my unlock code in. I messed it up and had to type it again. Gtrrr. I went online to check my balance (to see if my check was deposited (they have messed it up before). Yup it was there. Now I opened my laptop, logged on, and opened up my email. I contacted my favorite sy vendor for the name of the day. I was sweating balls as I was in line at XYZ to pay my vendor bill. I went home and made it 5 hours before cut off time. Geez that was close. Yada yada yada we get a whole story of the day of the order, the whole evening (including dinner) and how many times they check their email/tn. Then there is seven more paragraphs from dreams during the night, wetting the bed and up until thry wake and check the tn. Then five more paragraphs with details that are not important that usually end with: "I will update later on here with quality". Than thats 7 more paragraphs instead of saying "A+ or 7/10).
