soo_wordfest: Commenter's word game
Subvert the dominant paradigm and add festivity to your comments with this Textpattern version of Allen Chang’s delightfully clever Wordfest game for Symphony CMS commenters. MLP Pack compatible (though probably doesn’t work well with multi-byte text).
The object of Wordfest is to meet a set of constraints on writing a comment message. There is a conditional tag that allows you to flag successful comments however you choose.
Detailed description, demonstration, and doubtless a download: soo_wordfest

Re: soo_wordfest: Commenter's word game
It would be possible to add a forbidden word function so that anytime that a particular word (his anagram, a combination e.g.: grey, greyhound, gery…) is used in a comment it can be CSS styled in a different way? A sort of “unWordfesty” comment.
It would be possible to add a word constraint (e.g.: ly) so that – to get a Wordfest successful comment – at least one word of the message must start or finish with it? For example, with ly as word-constraint, succesfully, greatly and likely would be OK to get a Wordfestive comment.
Hope you understand.

Thanks for the suggestions — will look into these, but not for a week or so (traveling).

Re: soo_wordfest: Commenter's word game
candyman: both of the additions you suggest are certainly possible. Note that the second can already be done, sort of, using the must_contain attribute (e.g. must_contain="ly") because must_contain does not have to be a complete word. As to your first suggestion, I think forbidden letters might be a more interesting challenge for the comment writer, not to mention quite a bit easier to program, and I might add a must_not_contain attribute someday. Given the small interest shown thus far, though, I am going to wait.
