Limit Word Count for discussions (and answers) #135
Comments
Great to see you are working on this! May I add that ideally we should be able to set a minimum as well as maximum number of words? A minimum to fire-proof the discussions against what I call LOL posts and a maximum to guard against "rants". ;-) |
Thanks for reading over it - sounds like a very good idea! (Although I like "rants" ;) ) |
Just one other thought - To circumvent that limit user might just create multiple post, so it make make sense to have some additional maximum post per discussion limit which kind of related to #134. |
I agree. It does make sense. (But even if it didn't, I would still say we should add the option if it's within our powers. ;-)) |
Currently post are of type text and can therefore be 1 GB long (which I guess is an issue in itself, so a default value makes sense.... Anyway ... )
(Split from #91)
Limiting the number of characters is the easiest implementation which I hope also does the job (@pejhab).
Implementation
(- optional field discussions and answers?)

maxcharsAs pjhab said, minimum characters prevent "LOL" Post - Not a lot of meaning and impeding to read a discussion, and maxbytes prevent "rants"
