Is there a way to eliminate post whores? Like limit the char input to 20 or something? I don't know if I've asked this before, but I've seen UBB has this function.

You mean make it so that they can't have more than a certain number of characters in their posts?

That's built into vB already.

sorry for not clear, I want the other way around, no less than 20, NOT no more than...

For instance, built in that no more than 10000 char as default, now I want the post that 20 < post <10000

To set a minimum character limit into the users post, just open newpost.php and newthread.php

find:

Code:

if (strlen($message)>$postmaxchars and $postmaxchars!=0) {

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toolong")."\");");

  }

directly after that, insert the following:

Code:

 if (strlen($message)<20) {

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_tooshort")."\");");

  }

Then go to your Admin cp and create a new Template called error_tooshort
and insert:

Code:

Your Message is too short. 

Please write at least 20 characters.

You are done. Change the minimum characters (20) to your needs. :)
