Support! Even though that ST rejects the idea for more characters, this sounds like a great idea for profile sections. Although, this is rejected for projects, and other text boxes to prevent bad things from happening.

I have to go through multiple times of changing my profile’s about me and wiwo, and it’s very frustrating and tedious with the character limit set so low.

the other textboxes already have loads and loads of characters anyways, so those really dont need more

Support. 200 characters is not enough! Maybe like 500, 1000 or something.
Even those what we're working on! We need to give details about our future projects.

Not 1000. That's way to much.

Even though this SOUND LIKE a good idea, I'll do

Because of 2 reasons:
-There's a higher chance that spammers might spam a word over and over again on their profile.
-This had sadly been already rejected on the forums. Plus it is good to read the stickys first before suggesting something because it might be already been rejected. So please read the rejected sticky first here (and scroll down until your at section 6.2).

This suggestion is to increase the character limit, not remove it.

Honestly i dont really care if someone spam the word over and over. because it doesn't lag.

Either the userpage sections need more characters, or comments less. What has anyone even said in a comment that takes a good 400 characters that wasn't spam?

I have, and the owner of a BaG sticky(banana439monkey) as well.
He asked for help on a project by Paddle2See, since he didn't wanna send so many reports to have help with a clean-up – I asked him why he didn't ask others to just not advertise, etc. Which then I realized he did. We did a little back and fourth chatter.
Paddle2See noticed his comment and it's been resolved.
Semi-Support. As long as comments don't get a decrease, I'm fine with this.
Although I don't think increasing the character limit from 200 would be best in the current server situation.
Here's my reasons for the comment decrease being bad, actually:
Telling glitches to the project creator would be MUCH harder with less characters to tell the glitch with.
Communication & Expressing would also be WAY more hard and would require alot of patience waiting until the other finishes with something like (end) at the end of their comment.
There's no just no real benefit in decreasing the Comments characters. It's good as is.
And I'm honestly fine with AM and WIWO's character limit;
People would just start adding copypastas to their abouts.

True, but what if you want to describe the project you're working on in more detail? Or explain why you're inactive? I know you can make another project to explain but it makes My Stuff very messy.
And updating the project description is going to be tedious.

Eh, personally I'd rather keep it as is rather than start seeing ASCII art and copypastas in Abouts.
And I don't believe servers would do good as of right now as well – I find it fine enough, and I'm not discouraging the suggestion, but I'm not supporting it (much) either;
And about explaining your project in more detail – You could just feature an introduction project.
Personally it's just my opinion, since AM is made to introduce/express yourself ‘in short.’, and WIWO is also meant to explain for example how your project is going, or what type/thing of a project you're currently creating – Like I said, it's just my opinion.
And yes – Updating a Project Instructions / Notes & Credits is tedious.
However atleast Scratch Servers won't have much problem. Increasing the characterlimit would just lengthen the current standpoint of maintance and server issues;
That ends my essay.

Is Scratch going to be even laggier if the character limit increases though?

Possibly. Think of the amount of people that'll be updating their WIWO & AM if this gets accepted.
Plus the AM & WIWO's text are stored in the servers.
So I personally think it would be a abit laggier.

Then maybe only increase character limit for What I'm Working On. I'd still rather have less lagging, though. ;-;

I mean fair enough people think it's low – And I'm not trying to deter you from your opinion. Stay as is, don't be demotivated! I'm not trying to force my opinion.
I'm simply saying my reasoning for only Semi-Supporting the suggestion.

I dont think text would be laggy, and text will store from kilobytes up to maybe 2 megabytes? it isnt a big number to make server lag

There is already a way to get a larger WIWO: Use one of @World_Languages's tutorials or use addons.
