Request: Filter by message text length

Hello,

My website has in the last few months received an absolute barrage of weird contact form entries. They’re quite innocuous, as they contain absolutely nothing other than a bogus email-address, a single name in the text field for their name, and the same first- and surnames in the text field for the subject and textarea field for the message. Innocuous as they may be, they’re still very annoying.

There is no consistent feature that ties these messages together, other than always using a VPN in a eastern european country and the general structure of the entry, so the only effective way of blocking them out is to deny the entire IP-block of a single country, which may of course discriminate against legitimate users in those countries.

I don’t expect any legitimate website visitor using my contact form to only input two words in my contact form, so I would like to request a features to simply be able to filter on length of the input in a text area field.

Thanks

Here is a screen dump of two such messages, that were caught because they came from a Moldovan IP address.
