In the Help room, there is a mod stopping people from sending messages with only one or zero letters. I would want it to be expanded in such a way that it allows message entirely composed of 2 or more numbers to pass through. People often come in help room asking questions like "what is the accuracy of Thunder in Sun" or "What are the odds to hit two Focus Blasts in a row" which are answered quicker by saying "50%" or "49%" as adding letters to the answers is useless.

Rejected Modchat in Help room

Hi. Things like this are better brought up to help room staff in the future, but for now: no. If nothing else, you can ping the user to make it clear who you're answering, but the restriction exists for a reason (and it includes no two numbers for a reason).
Turtlek Just to give you an easy answer in case you intend to follow up with help staff (and maybe other people wondering the same thing will read this too, idk):
Because the Help Room often has people asking/answering multiple questions at the same time, it's best to give as thorough an answer as possible. For example, it's a lot clearer to tell someone "Isaiah type /dt" than just "/dt" in a constantly updating live chat. Outside of avoiding trolls and whatnot, it's actually better for us if people are encouraged to put more effort into making sure their answer is being communicated properly (In fact, that's actually covered in the help guide! <- see #3) :]
