A 500 character limit is great because I can write a 280 character post promoting something I wrote and then provide 220 characters of "please read the thing I wrote before commenting here" disclaimer :brain4:
(yes I could change the character limit if I want. it is a feature I actually added to the software I am writing this on. oh hey here I am doing the disclaimer thing again)
@darius new feature for making disclaimers first class as a little info box in the post
