gollark: For context: about 1/5 of my scroll consists of ones valid under my *existing* scheme.
gollark: https://dragcave.net/group/70751This appears to be too many, so I'll probably require either a single two-letter code or three single-letter ones.
gollark: Since there are lots of those, I may consider requiring >=2 letters.
gollark: Yep!
