So far it has come up once on one of our large instances and thus I wanted to class it as low only.

Since we limit the number of characters (probably to 255?), we should also have a brief help text below the box pointing that out.
It would be good to have a character count down so that people know how many more they can write instead of just being stopped from writing more.
