โ€ฆ without fucking Disco robot looking over their shoulders and applying its own filters. When someone posts something objectively hilarious, ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† is a perfectly legitimate response. The Discourse robot has got to go. (Mods,feel free to move this to the Pit.) ---

I do not know, but I did not do any coding. @OP are you experiencing a glitch? There is `min_post_length` but I do not know what it is set to. I believe perhaps lower than the default, though ---

I replied to a post with that string of emojis, and Discourse returned an error message, asking if it was a complete sentence. ---

That is `body_min_entropy`, and I do not know what it is set to, eitherโ€” but you saw my post. ---

I did not need any extra coding to post the above. And the โ€œAre you sure this is a complete sentence?โ€ message can be dismissed and your post saved as-is. Just as can the โ€œYour OP looks similar to these other OPs. Are you sure you want to post?โ€ The only message thatโ€™s a show-stopper is the minimum post length of 5 characters. Which of course can be outsmarted, but canโ€™t be just ignored ---

When I posted 5 capital "A"s (in surprise and alarm), and the โ€œthatโ€™s not a complete sentenceโ€ popup only had an โ€œokโ€ button. And subsequent attempts to submit got exactly the same blocking, no matter how often I tried. Likewise โ€œABCDEโ€. I donโ€™t understand the rules, I guess. 5 different emojis are fine, but 5 alphabetical characters (same or different) are not.
