Controlling boards spammers

[Fretwobbler]

The board software would count that as 4 characters regardless of whats between the quote tages. (5 if there is a sapce between '+' and ':')

 

There are 20 spaces in that quote.

 

I'm not sure what you mean here

 

Whatever is between the quote tags is ignored in counting the amount of characters in the post. I'm not sure about spaces within the body of the post, they might count or not, but even so since they introduced it, the smiley post has been completely irradicated.

Sorry, I realized I worded that poorly after I posted it. What I meant was that I hit the space bar enough times in what I wrote to equal 20 characters in what I posted (not counting the quote). Unless the software being referred to ignores spaces and does not count them as characters, What I wrote contained 20 characters, although only a few were actually viewable.
