Minimum characters needed for a new post · **Released**: 04-03-2003

What does this hack do?
If you post a new thread or a new reply and the message is too short (shorter than a number of characters you specify), you'll recieve an error. This *might* stop spamming.

Ei, what if I dont want this hack anymore, how do I uninstall it??

Why not just set the min characters to 0 to disallow?

Leider ist die .txt Datei nicht mehr vollständig.
Könnte das vielleicht nochmal jemand anhängen?

This hack is exactly what I was looking for! It works great, thanks a lot!

I installed the hack, works fine. One of my mods asked if it would be possible to make a different limit based on post count? We basicially want newbies to post more information than our regular members, so we want a higher minimum for the newbs.
