Question Minimum number of character in a post

You cheated! You did not post nothing in the first place. You posted something and then you removed it.

But thats my point you should not be allowed to do that! its what im trying to get across

That was not the question asked in the opening post. If I could summarise what was originally asked, some people are complaining about the fact that their own user communities are posting lots of messages that contain little more than a word or an emoticon or an image ... and that this continual parade of "meaninglessness" is upsetting their harmony.

You can't win, can you? People complain because I write too much. (Some people even complain when I write too little). People complain that no-one posts on their forum ... or when people do post on their forum, that they haven't written "enough".

You cannot control people via technology. As soon as you impose a technological "solution" people will find a way around it or they will not use the technology simply because they refuse to be treated like that. On my forums I treat people like adults. I don't give them a lot of rules and regulations; I do not stipulate that they must post at least 20 characters of meaningful prose or their messages will be removed from the forum. I am thankful every single time someone takes a few moments out of their day to say "G'day" or post a picture just to show that they've visited my website.

If you believe that your users should not be allowed to use their intelligence to remove messages after they have posted them then that's your right to hold that belief. In my personal opinion that is not a problem at most web forums that I visit. It is certainly not a problem here at this site. In my opinion this is a no-win situation for us. If someone is prepared to financially back the development of this idea as a standard feature of Kunena, or if there is such overwhelming enthusiasm from hundreds of people in the Kunena community who feel as strongly as you do, then maybe these things will bring about a change in Kunena. However, no-one has offered to pay for this feature and I have not seen the enthusiastic support from the Kunena community and, on this basis, there is nothing here to support.

But you have to admit its better to stop people from doing it rather than getting someone spam the forum editing all there posts making them blank.

And the only real method of stoping it is setting a minimum character limit on the allowed post even when editing.

So is there any news about this becomming a feature ?

Still such a disapointment that kunena has yet to notice the fact of posts containing just 1 character and how serious of a issue it will become.
