Question Kunena 1.5.12 Minimum number of characters in post ?

I was browsing my kunena configuration but could not find anywere the minimum number of characters for a user to post. I was woundering if its possible to set one because it will stop users from posting replys / creating topics with a small amount of information for example 3 letters "lol".

C0n: How many months have you been using Kunena? I am fairly sure that you should already be aware of the answer by now: there is no configuration setting in Kunena to do this.

I'm sure that with a bit of your own resourcefulness you can figure a way to prevent users sending short messages if this is a problem. I don't know the technical solution but, then again, I've never encountered the problem, either, with users of my website posting "nothing" messages. I think a lot of this has to do with the "maturity level" of your users; you can help them by asking them to refrain from posting short, nonsense, messages and, if they don't heed your requests I guess you'll have to adopt a tougher line. It's really up to you, isn't it. That's just my opinion and you and others are entitled to disagree with me.

In short, I'm sure you can do this (a simple piece of client-side Javascript to count the number of characters before enabling the Submit button) but I don't know where you would put the function. I'll have to leave that to a K 1.5 technical expert.

I know but if you cant find it on the forum you might aswell ask the question if still nobody has a clue then get cracking to find the soloution yourself

Fair enough. Well, it looks like you'll need to build a solution, won't you? Sorry I can't help you more.

If you were using K 1.6 then there might be an easier solution but you're not [using that version] and there isn't [a better solution].

Fair request - currently not implemented. Maybe this or something similar can make it into 1.7

I was kind of supprised nobody mentioned it before its one of those things that you would expect to be there to stop short pointless post's.
