Personally, I wouldn’t bother fixing this until some kind of incident happens - someone using it to be obnoxious. The fix might be pretty involved, and it has questionable benefit – what are we really trying to discourage here? The wrong thing is already hard - you have to consciously put the effort into submitting a post that’s under the character count.

Also – I’m using – too many dashes.
