As the title, could you write a simple mod that will block a user from posting a topic which has repeative exlamation or question marks in the title? Such as Heeei!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or Who can write this mod?????????????

In a short way, you can filter some repetitive chars with str_replace

Open
posting.php
Find

Code: Select all

	$post_data['post_subject']		= utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('subject', '', true));

Add after

Code: Select all

	$post_data['post_subject'] 	= str_replace(array('..',',,','??','!!'), array('','','',''), $post_data['post_subject']);

This code replace even number of repetitive signs, ??? => ? , ?? =>

How about detect if a post contains those repeative signs in title on submitting. if it does, block submitting and return an error message

This is not a good detecting but, can detect the title containing repetitive "??", "..", "!!",",,"

Open
posting.php
Find

Code: Select all

       $post_data['post_subject']      = utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('subject', '', true));

Add after

Code: Select all

	if (str_replace(array('..',',,','??','!!'), array('','','',''), $post_data['post_subject']) != $post_data['post_subject'])
	{
		$error[] = "Please do not use repetitive characters in your title.";
	}

For a better detection preg_match_all() can be used, but I am not familiar with it.

Nice it works thanks so much.

It would be great if someone could turn this idea into a proper mod

I have a mod to correct all uppercase posting, I intend to add this anti-repetitive chars option when I update it.
