Errors

Comment is too long

The comment exceeds the 4000-character limit before word filters run.

Comment is too long

The trimmed comment is longer than 4000 characters before banned-word filtering runs.

Why this happens

Hard length check on file/folder/news comment APIs. Paste from long documents or logs often trips this. Post-filter oversize uses Comment too long after word filters instead.

Diagnose and fix

1. Visitor: shorten to ≤4000 characters and post again.

2. Admin: no setting raises this cap today.

3. Confirm they are not hitting a different error (captcha, comments disabled).

4. For spam floods, use moderation / filters rather than raising the limit.
