A higher limit to characters in messages*

First topic message reminder :

Characters in the messages: 15 999 characters (Including spaces)

Hi 'd like to propose the idea of a bigger limit to the charcaters we use in messages.
I oftenly have problems using only 15 999 in some threads(specially collections) that I update everyday or in posting NFO files that contain ASCII art in a code
Pls can this be done ?

Yes... I can't post my forum rules, because are more than 15999 characters

You'll just have to post it in other posts

Voted no because if it was raised, this would allow spammers to create more spam.

My forum has a Catagory called random stuff
aka where people can spam to there hearts content
but at the same time in that catagory, reputation and points dont increase

Besides a spam forum, what about other forums? Also, if this option would be optional I would vote yes.

still, it would take quite a long time for a spammer to spam 5 pages.
So i dont see the big deal

This was wrong... i mean JOKE! B.B

Spammers should be warned then banned - should not restrict other members and forums for that reason.
It's like being told to not go out of your house while the streets are not safe due to lack of policing

Yes for those that need/want it
No for those that don't

I vote for option button by admin, rather than yes/no

Please guys, i have 3 very important articles for my forum, and i can't post them!

My members are having great difficulty posting computer log files.. I really wish this could be implemented!

Thats alot of bullheck there.

The base is right again

I know the feeling man, but trust YOU to bring up the computer geek stuff

Because this would allow spammers to spam even more (and be even bigger asses) I am voting no.
However if this were to be optional, I would vote yes, because I do see, and know where Dr Inferno is coming from, because I understand (and know well) his woes.

For the reasons above, I am NOT voting just yet.

Voted yes!i run a forum about dota (warcraft 3)and i face alot of guides to put(when i say alot i mean it ) and even 1 guide i couldnt put in 1 piece

Yeah, I run a forum for the flash game Free Rider 2, and users post codes for their track that they create in the game; and the codes are extremely long.

Yes, please.

I have a role-playing message board, and it's really quite annoying when you're trying to write a story, essentially, and you can't fit everything you want into one post. Additionally, we have a character library where we store all of our character's descriptions, and it's even more irritating when you can't even fit an entire description of a character into one post. It looks really cluttered when you have two separate posts for one single character.

This seems like its been either debated or ignored for a very long time, so I'll try and not get my hopes up here...

Voted yes.

I voted yes.

But the admin should be given the option to set a limit either more than the current limit, or less, should he wish. That way the admin has sole control over his forum, and can control how many characters his members' posts can get.

No. Spam post with more than 20.000 characters?

That's no big problem, seeing as it only takes a second to delete the post...
But it did make me think. Perhaps the admin could be given an option to specify how many characters are allowed to posts by members with a certain post count.

Yeah, I like this idea. That way, everyone's happy.

Voted YES

votd yes as well...

and for hose that voted no...
maybe an option in the admin panel to set the max number of chars would be helpful

Need more votes!

This is the suckiest limitation in forumotion. It doesn't make any sense to limit the number of characters, especially to a pathetically low number.

Would love this feature to be implemented.
