It seems the `min post length` setting counts **all** the characters in a post, including the markdown for images and links. This leads to quite a few people posting image-only posts without any comment. Bumping the setting to a much higher value is not desirable - it would be great if min post length could avoid all ‘non printing characters’ as they’re not actually contributing to the conversation? ---

This has been covered many, _many_ times in previous topics. The intent is not to plug every possible unicode space “filler” exploit, just to cover the basic ones. However it looks lke your goal is a bit different here, you want to prevent image only posts? Why not have a policy and enforce it? ---

We’ll do that, thanks!
