I was editing my post of the News and Announcements to compile the applications, appeals, and reports rules, but I was unable to do the editing. Why? I was WAY above the limit of 15,000 characters. My idea is being able to ask mods/admins OR apply to get the character limit changed for a thread. I am not sure if this is possible or how this would work out in the end, but it could be used in longer threads. Please leave any comments on this below, I will take any criticism. That limit is huge, but I tried adding a rule that mods can only ban with a reason... and it was still over the limit.
Or if they didn't want to show the whole thread, it could automatically add a 'Read More' button to reveal the whole thread.
