Post Minimum Post Length 
 
I recall the ability to set the minimum post length in an older version of a board I used with just PHPBB2 or maybe 3.  I have been using IP for a year or so now and have begun having the problem of too many members just posting a simple "y" or worse yet a single smiley.  

I have looked through the posts here and done some searches but I can not find a setting to limit the posts to require a minimum of a certain number of words or characters.  Is this available for IP or as a mod?

Edit:  

I just found my own answer.  Found it on phpbbhacks site.  It was a simple mod or hack designed for phpbb2 i think.   Anyhow needed a few syntax changes to fit with IP,, I made it work by

OPEN Posting.php
FIND
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
elseif ($submit || $confirm || ($draft && $draft_confirm))
{
  Should be around line 1094
REPLACE WITH
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
elseif ($submit || $confirm || ($draft && $draft_confirm))
{
        if('mode' != "delete")
        {
            // Set up minimum post length
               $briansTmp = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];
               $briansTmp = trim($briansTmp);
            if (strlen($briansTmp) < 9)
            {
                    $error_msg = 'Message is too short.';
                    $error = true;
            }
        }

There is no need to install extra mods...

OPEN templates/common/bbcb_mg.js
FIND
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
    if (document.forms[form_name].elements[text_name].value.length < 2)

REPLACE WITH
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
    if (document.forms[form_name].elements[text_name].value.length < 9)


Adjust the red number to what you like...
