Prevent the great wall of text (force line breaks, punctuation)

[Alpha1]

Since migrating to xenforo we get a lot more mobile users. One of the downsides of this is that they often post large texts without line breaks or punctuation, which results in unreadable posts.

To solve this I suggest the following functionality:

• If a post has more than X characters and no line breaks, then show an error to the user that they must add line breaks, before the post can be submitted.
• If a post has more than X characters and no punctuation, then show an error to the user that they must add punctuation, before the post can be submitted.

Nowadays AI can easily check and correct such posts. Instead of the above process, it would make more sense to have an LLM check it and correct it automatically.

Although that would work I disagree with the principle. IMO It would be better if people were notified of the issues and learned for themselves how to communicate effectively. Not to mention the environmental impact caused by (unnecessary) use of ai. I vote for the original suggestion - nudge people into doing it for themselves.
