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).

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!!!"
