So everyone benefits except for those who write what is by far the most common article length.


I think the question many have is why. What is the reasoning behind what seems like a more complicated system?

Bovo gave you a good answer. The problem was people were just trying to get to 600 words, because that was the most advantageous count. It meant 300 word articles were terribly fluffed, and people who may have been able to deliver a meaningful 1000 word article would a)fluff it and split it or B) trim it. Because there was no point in posting any article that is not 600 words.

Also, as for being more complicated, it'll still happen in a spreadsheet automatically.
