### Problem
The user profile descriptions are commonly used by spammers to post spam.
Spammers often post extremely long descriptions within a few minutes of the user account being created.
Problems:
* Take longer for admins to review.
* Bad for OSM search engine ranking as the garbage text negatively affect OSM.org's keyword ranking / authority.
* Waste of database resources.
### Description
New users ( < 24 hours? ) should only be allowed to post short (512 character?) user description entries.
