With the release of the dev builds for sponge, I have seen a few people post crash reports and what not on the forums, before we start getting full 1,000 line logs on the forums I think we should add into the rules about posting to a pastebin site.
gist, or a site that can analyse logs.

As @ryantheleach said, when posting logs it would be best to use pastebin or a similar service (hastebin, gist, etc.)
More than anything I’d like this to be in the rules, so that way when people who decide to read them won’t post 1000 line logs or more.
I think its kinda useless to discuss this 
. Most users will just try sponge. And have a crash, because they haven’t read the docs about how they need to install it. How do you expect that they would have read this thread?
I think its obvious that most users that are used to forums, will use pastebin or gist.

It would be nice if code boxes had a maximum height and word wrapping would be disabled. Instead, it should display scroll bars.

Here’s a radical idea. Create a discourse plugin to detect when a log is pasted and suggest to the user to use a paste service (or just dump it to pastebin directly when posted).

Your text takes quite a while to what?
It takes a while to cut the code box off and make it scrollable
