As I've noticed, thanks to dejosa, osay has to frequently shorten the character limit on posts. I was wondering if there would be such a way to put a system in on the forums that would auto-hide any text higher than X amount of characters in spoiler tags? I know images work similarly, when an image is too big, it gets shortened to fit the layout of the forum post it resides in.
In english: Can we have auto spoiler tags after we use so much space per post instead of having a very confining limit, and have a warning next to it said spoilers saying how many characters are in the spoiler tags? :cheer:

Everything was a great idea, until you insulted her /:
But whats the problem about long walls of text? Except if you have problems while visiting nation via mobile.
Also, you could have suggested her to put the text inside the spoiler tags.

Pretty sure Dejosa is a dude, not to be confused with Vejosa(?) or whatever the other chicks name is.

I don't think it'd work.
Text in the spoiler tag would still be stored in the database. The reason for the character limit isn't due to post length, it's due to the fact that overloading the server with information will cause it to crash.

Pretty much that. Spoiler tags don't prevent it taking up room in the database. It's not client-side lag that's the issue it's the amount of data being sent into or retrieved from the DB.
For people who need to work on guides or other legitimately long posts I can try doing what I did for staff and have an extra usergroup that has no limit. We can try that this weekend.

I would like to be in that group. D: I'm sure I'm trustworthy enough.

I think a way to prevent Dejosa would be to simply take his internet away and lock him up.

Dejosa is a dude who is on the global blacklist.
He just copy-paste spams to overload the servers.

I got a plan. Frequent posters should be able to either buy post length expansions from the shop, or Osay could personally give people an extended character limit.
