Anyways, I'm trying to get a mod that'll require at least 10 characters in a post before posting it. Pretty simple. Problem is that I don't know much about snitz coding...
Does such a mod exist? Can someone write it if it does not?
Edit: got another question...
Is there a mod that will allow only gmods and admins to edit a member's profile so as to enable or disable it completely without the particular member being able to ever override that?

^That mod allows members to choose to enable or disable their own avatars. But I want gmods and admins to have that option alone. Kinda like where admins can edit a member's custom title and only they can do that. It's the same thing for avatars only the two options here are enable and disable.
I'm also trying to get the same thing for signatures. Again, enable or disable for every unique member when editing their profiles.<

For the minimum character thing
In post_info.asp find this code (close to the top of file)
Add this code above it

cripto9t, I added your code and everything seems to be working perfectly. Thank you.
I'll monitor it to make sure nothing was adversely affected, but all seems well. Thanks again!
Now when, can someone please help with the enable/disable sigs and avatars issue?<

One thing to keep in mind, you will have an issue with this of someone quotes another person because it will count their text as well. An example where this may be an issue is when someone quotes another poster and they simply use an emoticon (which is something I hate when another poster does)<

Eh, it's alright. As long as it does the intended job.
Anyhow, any ideas on how to enable/disable sigs and avatars by admins?<

I think the mod you linked to lets them choose whether they see avatars or not, not whether they can have them.
wouldn't be too hard though, just add an extra field in the avatar table and members table, eg M_AVATAR_STATUS and M_SIG_STATUS or something, in the profile edit page allow admins to set the value of it to 1 or 0 (i suppose you could use on or off but my brain works in binary, and its more simple lol), and then add code around the avatar/sig edit code - let it display if the value is 1 (or 0 and member is admin) and not display if it's 0, you'll also have to add some hidden fields in that case so not as to confuse the database update, just add the fields again as hidden with value "" or whatever you want to display when they can't edit it.<
