It's possible to create a warning definition with:
1. a title that is longer than the maximum length of a warning title
2. a conversation title that is longer than the maximum length of a conversation title
There won't be any error when the warning definition is created, nor will there be any error when warnings are issued. In the first scenario, the title will be truncated. In the second scenario, the conversation creation attempt will silently fail without notifying the moderator, which can result in significant confusion.
Similarly, when issuing a warning, it is probably possible to enter a conversation title that is too long, though I haven't tested this. Other fields might also cause issues, but I've only tested the warning title and conversation title; I suspect any field that's store in a phrase will have a similar problem.
It shouldn't be possible to create warning definitions that result in invalid warnings or conversations. Similarly, conversation creation shouldn't fail silently; the whole warning should fail if the conversation is invalid.
This has been an issue at least as far back as XenForo 1.5.x and at least as recently as XenForo 2.2.4.
