Clarification for Secondary length Restrictions

[BoneBroCO]

When a secondary gives you some character or word restriction, should I try to create a response that gets very close to this limit? If not, when is too little? Currently answering a question with a 2000 character limit, but I feel like I have adequately answered the prompt in a little over 1000. I don't want to fill it with fluff to reach a higher count.

Any insight on this? @Goro @LizzyM @gonnif @Med Ed @gyngyn @Moko

Fluff is never good. If you feel like you've explained everything you need to, then don't fill it with empty words just to meet the maximum.

I'll echo the above sentiments. Reading applications is a time-consuming process, and no points are awarded for taking 2,000 characters to do the job of 1,000.

If you have only 20% of the maximum allowed, then it might be too short.... otherwise, don't sweat it.
