# Accept empty comments

 * Hello!
 * I made a theme where posts are actually event announcements, and comments are
   actually registrations for these events. People should be able to sign up with
   their name and email adress, and they have the option to write a few words if
   they want. However, submitting should be possible even with no content in the
   textarea.
 * I found a similar problem and solution here: [http://tiffanybbrown.com/2005/07/16/hacking_wordpress_not_requiring_an_email_address_to_post/](http://tiffanybbrown.com/2005/07/16/hacking_wordpress_not_requiring_an_email_address_to_post/),
   but I do not understand how I use it for the textarea instead.
 * How can I make WordPress accept “empty” comments?
 * Thanks a lot!
    Kristian
