Save time by storing prewritten feedback for future use.

How to limit the number of characters in a comment?
You can set both minimum and maximum number of characters a comment can have. We recommend using 60 for minimum and 5000 for maximum character count.

In most cases, it is spam because the author is simply trying to earn a backlink from your site.

By setting comment length limits in WordPress, you can improve the quality of your comments.
Is there a valid reason for enforcing a maximum width of 80 characters?
I think the practice of keeping code to 80 (or 79) columns was originally created to support people editing code on 80-column dumb terminals or on 80-column printouts. Those requirement have mostly gone away now, but there are still valid reasons to keep the 80 column rule: To avoid wrapping when copying code into email, web pages, and books.
