Can you make it so they don’t end up typing “WORDS WORDS WORDS”

Probably, but I can't think of an obvious way right now. Not to mention that I know absolutely nothing about coding and thus what is and isn't practical... :marseyshrug:

Make every word into a string and check if it repeats more than like 3 or 4 times. Add an exception for all common words

Okay, that seems insane even to me.

Oh no, the website performance

Sure if you add each word to a list and do a linear search like an absolute r-slur for each word every time. 🤭

I’m not an advanced enough programmer but a hash map would be the best choice here right?

For small sentences? It would make no difference

So long as you don't get a large number of users posting huge sentences with only unique words.

Write a Python script that compresses their comment. If the compression ratio exceeds 50%, they're cheating

Would also need to block aosidfjosjdfosfsidjosdajiosjidsdifsdf type stuff too tho

Python script to import text into Word, take a screenshot, and count how many red "underline squiggle" pixels are present

Or hear me out.. we have a group of volunteers verify that they aren't cheating for $0/hr.

No, never mind. That's ridiculous.

Rather depends on the compression mechanism used. And assuming you find one that works, you could just check what algo they use and use that instead of actually compressing.

This. Split on whitespace, put it into a Counter (collections module), write some algo that accounts for length vs. repetition, Bob's your uncle.

This is super easy lol. Add each word as a key to a hash map and then get key count of the hash map. You won't get duplicate keys, so the key count will represent the unique word count.
The harder part is to figure out how to prevent them from pasting shit like lorem ipsum.

Ban them once they do LOL

gzip the comment and reject if the compression ratio is more than twice higher than for some sample text like lorem ipsum. Not only it's way more universal and resistant to smartasses than any of the other proposed hacks, it's also much easier to implement, just zlib.compress and compare.

If you can point me to where the check is currently located I can even do it myself and make a pull request.
