I would assume Bricklink does/did not validate the input field and simply trusts
the user does not manipulate it.

Yep, you're supposed to have light tests on the frontend, and heavy ones
on the backend side.

How do you manipulate it? I can't type more than 45 characters in the subject
line, nor can I copy and paste more than 45 characters from another source into
the subject line. Perhaps it only works on some systems but not others, or perhaps
there is a way to do it using HTML or the command line.

It seems the limit for original posts is 45 characters, but for replies, it's
50, which makes sense since "Re: " adds another four characters to the
subject line. But I still can't extend the subject line beyond 50 characters.

to however many characters you want to write.

Bricklink should really validate their input. Otherwise weird things happens...

Folks, this may seem like a harmless activity, but we would rather not attract
attention to any loopholes in our system that bypass normal functionality. The
Forum doesn't look right with these huge titles anyway, so we would ask that
you not continue to do this.

Thanks for understanding.

fun' & they are posted in the off-topic section of the Forum...

No. Absolutely not. There are a few important differences here:

1) Posting off-topic on the forum is not the same as spamming
2) Nobody is trying to sell me something I am not interested in
3) The people posting are BrickLink members who are actually contributing to
the community here

So yeah, I can tolerate that and might even smile when I see some of the responses.

maybe you should re-read what i wrote:

"both are done to annoy & clog up the Forum."

1) this & gummy posts are annoying & both clog up the Forum
2) never mentioned anything about selling something
3) both groups of 'people' doing the posting are BL members, & neither
this nor gummy spam is 'contributing to the community'

so... you are cool with spam..
good to know

You said that you find this thread annoying, yet you post a lot in it. I'm
