Is it possible to disallow posts which have over a certain number of characters without any spaces (ie that will stretch the page)? Around 50 or so would do it.

50 characters is alot of missed spaces!

Most of the time it's the result of someone going overboard with the exclamation mark or similar.

I've tried to do this before, but it quickly became clear that this is not as easy a task as it first seems. In particular, URLs are often longer than any arbitrarily chosen length and must not have spaces put in them willy-nilly. This is not to say that it can't be done, it will just have to be more thouroughly tested than earlier attempts.

perhaps having URLS with an http: in front could be encapsulated into a (link) ... that would, maybe, free you up to handle any other occurance more aggressively

okay... I may be talking out of my rear here... but is it possible to make the comment box here itself a fixed width, thereby limiting the number of characters to the current box width?
