I love it that you need to type in at least 30 characters now to post a new topic!!! That should totally eliminate topics saying only "help!!!!!" icon_biggrin.gif

Although we have seen a few posts with excessive useless characters since then...but overall I have to commend CZ for taking these measures! The boards have been much nicer to browse lately..we actually know what people are talking about before we click the link! Great job guys!

Having their posts deleted for not having a descriptive title works wonders as well. icon_wink.gif

Open your includes/functions_post.php and look for the following:


                        $result = validate_username($username);
                        if ($result['error'])
                        {
                                $error_msg .= (!empty($error_msg)) ? '<br />' . $result['error_msg'] : $result['error_msg'];
                        }
                }
                else
                {
                        $username = '';
                }
        }


After that add:


        $minimum_words = 30;
        $s_count = strlen($subject);
        // Check subject
        if (($mode == 'newtopic') && ($s_count > $minimum_words))
        {
                $subject = $subject;

        } 
        else if (($mode == 'newtopic') && ($s_count < $minimum_words))
        {
                 $error_msg .= (!empty($error_msg)) ? '<br />' . $lang['Tooshort_subject'] : $lang['Tooshort_subject'];             
        }


Then open your modules/Forums/language/lang_main.php and find:

$lang['Empty_subject'] = 'You must specify a subject when posting a new topic.';


After that add:


$lang['Tooshort_subject'] = 'Your subject is too short. Minimum subject length is 30 characters.';


Upload and test it. Make sure to make a backup.
