It says reviews can be a maximum of 4000 characters, but is that including or excluding spaces? Anyone?

Its including spaces. I wish the limit was a bit higher as my reviews normally come to about 5,700 characters.

Now that was interesting. Hey, everyone! Let's start a completely useless thread which serves no good to anybody who actually reads what it says on the review page (at the top). It says that it is including spaces. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

At least my comments are justified. I haven't started any threads at all never mind ones that compile of about 3 sentences. I also don't think I'm some sort of JAT killer just because I wear "the purple coat of justice".

Here's what it says, and I quote:

Please note: reviews may be removed if they do not meet a reasonable standard. Copied reviews will also be removed and may result in the user being banned - we systematically check reviews against search engines. 4,000 is the maximum number of characters per review.

And that doesn't say about spaces. I can't find information about it anywhere else.

So what.

This issue has been cleared up already and there was no need what so ever to pop this topic back up to the top.

Why not take the practical solution?

1. Go to write a review about anything
2. Press the space key
3. Look down to the character count

Results:
If character count goes down by one then yes, spaces are included.
If character count remains unchanged the no, spaces are not included.

I didn't know there was a character count. That's why I asked the question before I submitted a review, only to find it was too big. Anyway, it has been cleared up now, thanks for the help.
