If you were creating posts, maybe you want to limit the number of characters someone can submit in their article.</p> <p>Spam is a good reason too,</p> <p>You may never need to set a limit on the number of characters in the text area, but the option is there if you need it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/reasons-to-set-character-limit#post-72786 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 15:48:05 +0000 Bill_B 72786@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If I were interested in whatever input a legitimate responder felt inclined to submit, would there be any reason to set a character limit? I'm thinking spam and other web survival issues but am interested in your advice. </p>
