Minimum number of characters in a reply?

[Platinumgamer]

I'm not sure if this was requested before or not(Looked through most of the hacks in the hack database and didn't find it) But, can this be done? I want to stop spam posts on my board...I think the only way of doing so would be to limit the number of characters in a reply. Can someone help me out?

Thanks....

]1. Open newreply.php, find:

PHP Code:

  if (strlen($message)>$postmaxchars and $postmaxchars!=0) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toolong")."\");");
  } 


Below add:

PHP Code:

  $postminchars = 10;
  if (strlen($message) < $postminchars) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_tooshort")."\");");
  } 


2. Edit the variable $postminchars
3. Create a template called error_tooshort and insert a error message
