[request] Plugin Request: Character limit on Comments

One of my clients has a blog that is getting the same 20 people commenting to the degree they should have their own blog. I’ve suggested a character limit might be a way around this.

I’m assuming this is doable via a plugin?

Any takers? I’m not familiar with how much time this might take.
I am prepared to donate for the plugin, depending on the extent of work it takes.

Thanks.

Matthew

For a basic javascript maxlength, check out this script. A PHP one doesn’t seem too hard though.

Maybe they should send these people over my sites :))

JM,
Thanks, I think I’m most interested in something that works this out server side, but I’ll keep that in mind.

Hey thanks Mary! :)

I didn’t want to assume anything, and didn’t want to push either, I just wanted to know if I needed to follow up with anyone else :)
Thanks as always for your help,

Matthew
