> The main problem for me is that when a user adds an event description, there is a _ **silent failure** _. When description holds \> 1000 characters, the event database record does not seem to be created. The text is still in the topic within the [event] block, but the event itself is not visible anywhere to users.

Coincidentally, this has just been reported as a bug report [Event silently fails if description is longer than 1000 characters](https://meta.discourse.org/t/event-silently-fails-if-description-is-longer-than-1000-characters/410769)
