Preventing members from using multiple !!!
 

I know it is purely anal of me but it drives me nuts when a member posts a billion exclamation marks after their post. Or sometimes sixty billion periods.

Is it possible to mod the VB3.1 so it post only one of the exclamations or periods?

Kier released this for vB2, the changes needed are pretty similar for vB3.

can you point me to it?

you can use the search to find all posts by kier ya know Find all posts by Kier

but heres the hack

Remove multiple !!! or ??? from thread titles

I cannot see how to get it to work on 3.1

Original hack says:

It couldn't be simpler really - edit newthread.php and find this:
Code:

$username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];

and right after it, add the following code:
Code:

$subject = preg_replace("/([\?\!]+)/e", "substr('\\1',0,1)", $subject);


I am lost.

Really want to get this working.

Please help.
