The way I do posts on the forum is by writing the entire thing regardless of the character limit, copy it to the clipboard, delete everything but the first line, and then paste it. I've occasionally erased posts this way, but it's better than writing "long post incoming, please wait 30 minutes", and the entire thread grows 5 pages before you finish.

But the limit is really about trying to keep posts concise, and you can do this in Japanese. In English however, often the person you reply to eats 800 characters, and thus it's incredibly obnoxious to reply to a thread where multiple quotes are involved.
