I have a question in regard to textarea character limits. I have a textarea where users can write articles of any length that they want; that is, they can make their article a sentence-long post or a really long article. I don't care how long the article is, as long as it's the length that the user wants. The only problem is I don't know if not inputting character limits at all is a bad idea. My question is this:
Does not placing a character limit to the textarea potentially lead to problems with people spamming a ton of text into the textarea and breaking something? I don't want to put a limit on the textarea, but I'm wondering if not placing a limit at all means that someone could come in and ruin it by putting too much text in there. So should I have SOMETHING working as validation for too much text in place?
