Is there an actual limit on how big i can make a BUR? Like how many lines can I make it before the admins or the system itself has an aneurysm?

25 lines is the hard coded limit, but you can make as many 25-line BURs as you want and link them all up in the same thread

That's a shame, I was ready for the system to explode with the update I'm going to make :V

That limit was put in place due to how hard it is to review BURs with hundreds of lines, it really isn't any easier when you make multiple BURs

For the system it depends on how many posts the approval would affect, for example 500 lines that only affect 1 post each is no problem while 50 lines that affect 1 million posts each will melt the servers

For the admins a 25 lines limit was hardcoded

I'm fairly confident this BUR in particular will be well received. It's just... BIG.

assuming the BURs are somewhat organized I think it's probably a bit easier to review them as smaller sets, you can kind of organize them into subsections of the same overall subject.

That's what I was thinking anyway, I'm going to manually review each entry so the tags hit correctly.

Well, while we're here, what kinda BUR do you have planned?
