If you read the latest news post, you may have seen the new word count feature when posting within roleplay boards.
There is also a minimum word count, which will help prevent the usage of one-liners. It is currently set at 10 words. This is in effect in all the roleplay boards, excluding Idle Roleplay (which includes word count but excludes the minimum word count).
It will not allow posts such as this to go through:
Lunarwind followed Froststar.
But it encourages posts like these:
Lunarwind, StormClan's medicine cat, chased after Froststar, arriving just in time to see her leader's white tail-tip vanish into the undergrowth that grew along the IvyClan border. Her fur had caught on some brambles, so she had to sprint to catch up.
Should the minimum word count be lowered, raised, or kept as-is?

Either kept as is or raised. I honestly hate the posts like your first example, as along with not being interesting to read, it's hard for other people to roleplay from that as well.

I think 10 words is good. Maybe raise it to 15?

I agree; raise it to 15 at least, preferably 20. A post of ten words can still be,
"Echopaw stepped forward to follow Heatherdust, her tail swishing silently."

A word-count is a great idea... probably would get more activity around here. I agree it should be raised up a bit more, though.
