Ive seen this question raised before and have not really looked into it so there may be a simple fix but if there isn't then, depending on how many words you expected to get in any post,
you couldsplit the teaxt into an array of words, check ther length and emit any words longer than the maximum desried, then rebuild the paragraph.

only a thought...

Cheers, Leed

You know, if there's a specific group of people who are abusing your website, just implement a list of BANNED ip addresses.

There's a saying "Crap in, Crap out"

If they try to break your system, they can expect something bad in return.

None the less, the ASP code:

Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR" will return the user's IP address.

Just add code at the top of the page that access a database and checks the list of banned IP addresses. If the current IP is found in the list, redirect them to "banned.asp"

You know, something like:

userIP = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR"
bannedIP = rcdUsers.Fields.Item("bannedIP".Value

if InStr(1,userIP,bannedIP,0) > 0 then Response.Redirect("banned.asp"

Of course, if the user has a dynamic IP address, this makes it even screwier. You know, that's why you should be able to see someone's MAC address!

Banning IPs will only work if the user has a STATIC IP, most are still on dialups and thier IP will change wilth every connection.
