Describe the bug
Some markdown editors on the site have a 30 character minimum. This may not be desirable in some cases.

To Reproduce

1. Go to: /users/edit/profile
2. Edit "Profile" bio text to have < 30 characters.
3. Save button is disabled.

Expected behavior
I was expecting either:

• A helpful error message stating the 30 character minimum or
• To be able to have a bio with < 30 characters.

Instead the "Save" button was disabled silently.

Environment

• OS: macOS Monterey
  • Browser: Chromium
  • Version: 103.0.5060.53
• OS: Slackware Linux 15
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Version: 102.12.0esr
• OS: Windows 10
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Version: 114.0.5735.198

Additional context
While I have no experience with Ruby On Rails, it seems like this is caused by the following:

• Line 40: /app/views/users/edit_profile.html.erb uses shared/body_field
• Line 25: /app/views/shared/_body_field.html.erb uses posts/mdhint
• Line 5: /app/views/posts/_mdhint.html.erb specifies data-min="30" which is enforced by:
  • Line 43-49: /app/assets/javascripts/character_count.js

This means, changing data-min via Inspect Element will bypass this limit for "Edit Profile" since it is not enforced server side (however it seems like it is for posts?)

Changing data-min="30" in mdhint will affect:

• /app/views/tour/question2.html.erb
• /app/views/admin/all_email.html.erb
• /app/views/mod_warning/new.html.erb
• /app/views/tags/_form.html.erb
• /app/views/posts/_form.html.erb

Perhaps, body_field & mdhint could accept min & max with default values set at 30?
