Don't tell them. I don't want to have to enter 30 characters. And it does not help for the people you'd need it for anyway.

Better?
No, just longer to type. You can't fix stupid people by making the life of non-stupid people worse.
All you do is for non-stupid people to stop caring and do the easiest thing possible too.
That's why we recommend passphrases. That 30 character requirement becomes much easier when it's 3-4 words with a separater. Faster to type, too.
Which does nothing for the "stupid people". I.e. the ones that we put these rules into place for. They'll do what I posted instead (or something else easily guessable and the cycle continues - technological solution to a people problem, i.e. doesn't work)
I would hate to be labeled 'stupid' everytime I don't want to type some 30 dumb characters everytime I login. How about no?
