Minimum Comment Length WordPress Plugin

Hi there,

Thanks for downloading one of my plugins. If you like my plugins, please support me by donating a small amount through PayPal.

If you donate even a small amount, that both keeps me enthusiastic and it allows me to keep working on improving my plugins!

Best,
Joost

P.S. did you know about my weekly WordPress newsletter? You should sign up right now!

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.

If you install this plugin, you'll get a new option page with 2 input fields, in the first of which you can set the amount of characters people should use at minimum for their comment to be accepted. It defaults to 15, which is a pretty nice number.

If people then leave a comment of less than 15 characters, WordPress dies on them with the message "Error: Your comment is too short. Please try to say something useful.", or whatever other message you decided to give to them, as this is the second option you can specify in the backend.
