Hi!

I search for a special spam-protection: A user may only post, if he enters more than x words OR y letters...

Do you know such a hack?

make a new template called error_spam (or whatever) and put in your error text, and then open up newreply.php and find

Code:

  if ($message=="") {

    echo standarderror($bbtitle,gettemplate("error_nosubject",0));

    exit;

  }

and under it add

Code:

$rat_numchars = "30"; #change me

if (strlen($message) < $rat_numchars) { 

  echo standarderror($bbtitle,gettemplate("error_spam",0));

    exit;

}

so if its under 30 characters it'll print the error_spam template.

for newthread.php, find

Code:

  // check for subject and message

  if (trim($subject)=="" or trim($message)=="") {

    echo standarderror($bbtitle,gettemplate("error_nosubject",0));

    exit;

  }

and under it put in

Code:

$rat_numchars = "30"; #change me

$rat_message = trim($message);

if (strlen($rat_message) < $rat_numchars) { 

  echo standarderror($bbtitle,gettemplate("error_spam",0));

    exit;

}

not tested btw ;P
