=== Minimum Comment Length === Contributors: joostdevalk Donate link: http://yoast.com/donate/ Tags: comments, spam Requires at least: 2.2 Tested up to: 2.7 stable tag: 0.6 Check the comment for a set minimum length and disapprove it if it's too short. == Description == Don't you find it annoying when someone comments with just a smiley? Or a "thanks"? On quite a few forums you have to leave a comment with a minimum of 15 characters to be able to comment, but WordPress doesn't allow you to set such a threshold. With this plugin, it does. It easily checks the comment for a set minimum length and disapprove it if it's too short (except if you're the admin). More info: * [Minimum Comment Length](http://yoast.com/wordpress/minimum-comment-length/). * Check out the other [Wordpress plugins](http://yoast.com/wordpress/) by the same author. == Installation == Installation is easy: * Download the plugin. * Copy the folder `minimum-comment-length` to the plugins directory of your blog. * Enable the plugin in your admin panel. Optional: * An options panel will appear under Options. * Decide on which comment length you'd like to block and what error to throw when a comment is too short.
