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
