Hey guys, I am interesting in making a lightweight plugin that removes posting limitations. My forum would love to reply to a post with just a single ?. However that gets caught in the filter. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to do so. I am bit new to discourse and the…

Edit your site settings to allow this. You don’t need a plugin at all. Search.

Sorry if i am a newb. Do you mean the entropy setting? Because mine is at 0. Which i assume is off, false or none. [entropy]

That’s a big assumption you’ve made there.

Okay. is there somewhere i can RTFM?

If you want posts of length 1, why wouldn’t you enter 1 there?

Interesting I assumed 0 would be off and 1 is true, but you know what happens when we assume lol. So I tried with 1 on body entropy, and still got the same error. [entropy_1] might be a bit hard to see on the window behind. I enjoy darker themes.

yes I am semi aware the characters mean the string limit. just assumed at a minimum 0 mean no limit.

And was it an all uppercase post? There is friction here because posting giant streams of short nonsense with an absurd post to metadata ratio … is not the intended use of Discourse. For that you should use a chat system like Discord.

I understand it is not intended. However we were an old vbulletin forum that migrated and some of the users resent not being able to respond with just a ? or quoting the above poster with no other characters in the post. I figured, that this functionality was something discourse was not going to s…

I am not sure, in theory a 1 char post should work with the correct site settings .. but I don’t really care if it works or not, since what you are asking for is a chat software behavior, not a discussion behavior you are experiencing intended friction to steer people away from stuff they sho…

Isn’t this why plugins like retort exist?
