I did find the right place to look into this!

with a `min_post_length` set to 1 symbols would still fail because of this

in `lib\text_sentinel.rb`

```plaintext
  def symbols_regex
    /[\ -\/\[-\`\:-\@\{-\~]/m
  end

  def seems_pronounceable?
    # At least some non-symbol characters
    # (We don't have a comprehensive list of symbols, but this will eliminate some noise)
    @text.gsub(symbols_regex, '').size > 0
  end

```

Which honestly is right. However for my case this caused problems. It was not hard to write a small plugin to basically allow symbols to count towards the size check.
