vb.org Archive - View Single Post - New Posting Features - Minimum character limit for thread subject

Retal · #8 04-05-2010, 09:41 AM

An idea for an automatic checking of thread titles:

- One word titles not allowed (not descriptive enough) - regardless of character limit (that I wouldn't use at all)
- Define fillwords (e.g. "question, advice, hint, problem, help, work"); if the title consists of more than XX% of fillwords, suggest rewording
- Define stopwords (e.g. vulgar words); if the title contains even one stopword, suggest rewording
- Define stripwords (or strings); strip those silently from the title
- Strip advanced excessive punctuation. That's what this mod already does I guess? It should however strip also combinations like some users' favourite "?!?!" etc
- Strip exclamation marks (!) and special signs (basically ASCII 128-255) altogether.

Will this mod work in vB 4.x, or have the hooks changed?
