Excessively long names/titles/locations

I'm not entirely certain what possesses people to put 25+ character long strings into these places, but the board should probably be handling them better than just offsetting their posts and bleeding out of the approrpriate area.

Or just don't let them have a word in the displayed profile stuff that's a bazillion characters long.

    I agree in principle that the things which can be solved in code probably should be, but then I also believe that the things which only pop up once every month or less really are "social issues" and not issues which require code patches.

    I'm not concerned with Ketchum Ash's location as that is only pushing the box out a tiny bit, but I will PM the other guy about a name change.

    *shrug* It was one I knew existed and thus proved it wasn't just the name-entry that was 'problematic.'

    just be nice and request the offenders to shorten things up

    unless its a name, I've been doing this for years and nobody has said no or been a dick about it
