Speaking as a former member of the game the original head mod was in before Save the Earth was created(for some perspective?), we had a similar AC rule - "three threads of decent length." While I'm definitely aware that STE certainly isn't the same game, the way AC was worded was so incredibly similar I always figured the original intent was to resemble that policy. I know each thread there was expected to be between 6-10 comments, depending on how many comments the player had in some of the other threads submitted so it was a little more forgiving of some threads not moving as fast as others than a hard-and-fast comment count rule.
However the problem with this is that a new mod team becomes removed from the original intention if that was the case. I don't think any of them were in that game and depending on what info on AC they had handed to them when they took over things were bound to run differently. So yeah, some clarification on AC standards as defined by this set of mods, would be good. I kind of like the idea of a little leeway if some of your threads are being tagged slower than others as long as not all your threads are bare minimum length, but there's has to a be a point where a thread is just too short, and two comments definitely seems too low.
