Title: YouTube Character Limit
Post by: Travis Retriever on February 18, 2012, 12:59:52 PM
For some reason on this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7FnUowZKfg
My character limit has been decreased to 200 characters.  Yet for some reason Johnrainrules (and others) don't seem to have this issue.

Any idea what's going on?  And how I can fix that?

Yes, don't comment on videos by clicking on the link from comments in your inbox. Also commenting on another video and then coming back will get you back to 500. They are trying to stop spammers like Mogley52 from serial spamming creationist crap directly from their website that cites articles on their website to drive traffic away from youtube.

Yes!  It worked! Thanks, Goaticus. :)

EDIT:  And for some reason I'm now back even after doing everything you said a second time.

I'm not seeing it, but maybe that's because it's my channel.

Could be.
As I said on that video:

Update: OK, it seems I get a 500 character limit when I comment on the "see all comments" page, but a 200 character limit--on this video--when I comment on the main video URL.
