Is it possible to limit the amount of characters on members' profile?
This is just something that I've been wondering about. Some members has the bad habit of using a really large profile without using spaces or commas. Here is mine as an example:

Now, let's suppose that I used under distribution, something like this:

Doing that, everything will be at the same line, and wherever the member post, the thread looks ugly and harder to read, since the messages won't be in a straight line. My idea would be to limit, maybe, the amount of characters used in a row/single word, meaning if the user don't use spaces, he/she won't be able to type more then a few characters. Is it only me or does it annoy somebody else too when you see a thread with a member like that?. Maybe it's me being too peek
