Max number of lines enforced in Kareha? (8)

So I've been playing with the code, and I can't seem to find the maximum number of lines for a post enforced anywhere. Is it? (Specifically, I can't find any references to MAX_LINES or the S_TOOMANYLINES error.)

Also, I want to add the little javascript manager to the image board code. Do you think this will be terribly hard? Wouldn't it just a matter of copying the code from the text board version?

There is no overall limit on the number of lines, just the maximum shown on the front page. If the option is still in there, it's just been left from back when there was a limit...

MAX_LINES still appears in config.pl, but wouldn't it be unwise to omit an arbitrary limit on the number of lines in a post? Yes, they're limited on the front page, but when viewing a particular thread individually it's very vulnerable to flooding, etc.

Well. 100 lines of garbage is just as annoying as 1000 lines of garbage. Especially if posted multiple times. But it's quite likely that somebody might want to post 100 lines of serious text - posting a longer text for comments, or something along those lines. So putting in an arbitary limit on the number of lines does not really solve the problem, and will limit the legitimate use.

The real solution is of course to have a moderator who deletes the garbage.

I don't really see the limit here. On 2ch, some boards have very harsh limits on post length / line numbers. So I just split up my posts if I want longer text to go through. No big deal, really.

And moderators cannot watch every single thread all the time, esp. as sites may actually grow (yes, I know, future talk).

you could add a "Post too long. Click to view the whole post" function to the full-thread view.

That sounds like a really bad idea. The full-thread view's function is more or less that you do not have to click anywhere else anymore to view the whole thread's content.
