Description

**Link to problem area**: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3roomsroomidreporteventid

**Issue**
The specification doesn't specify a character limit for the report. Ideally we'd have something in place so homeservers know where they stand in how much they're meant to accept and so clients know how much they can get away with sending.

Research direction

Start with the POST /_matrix/client/v3/rooms/{roomId}/report/{eventId} section linked in the issue and review the related Synapse issue. Done means the Matrix specification clearly defines the report's character limit and provides enough guidance for homeservers and clients to apply it consistently.
