Character Limit

The most retarded rule ever put in place by social media websites. A character limit is a numerical limit on how many letters, numbers, symbols, spaces, digits, etc. that you can type into a single text box.

The character limit literally forces you to shorten all of your responses to where you can't even make sense of them at times. If you happen to exceed any given character limit, you are instructed to cut down your response in order to fit the number of characters (letters/numbers/symbols/etc.) allowed by the website. So if you are trying to put all of your ideas into one post, you often end up getting screwed over by the character limit. It ends up becoming an overall pain in the ass.

Some notable websites that contain character limits include: Urban Dictionary (1500 character limit), YouTube (500 character limit), and most annoyingly, Twitter (originally a 140 character limit for all posts, now a 118 character limit for posts that contain URL's).

Rob: "Almost done typing my definition for 'Character Limit' on Urban Dictionary; it's gonna be kickass."

*Presses "Send to UD"*

Rob: "WTF!? I have 1527 characters and the character limit is only 1500!? BULLSH*T!!!"

Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit

I've seen definitions 10,000 "characters" long, but for some reason we're restricted to only 1500 now. Which sucks.

The Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit is the worst thing to happen to this site in a long time... some definitions are meant to be long, people!

Figuring out the fact that the character limit is extremely long on Urban Dictionary so you use whatever you can to the point where it gets hard to read or maybe even off screen

That.
