If you trust that it's not an automated submission and that they don't have javascript turned off, and you don't allow WYSIWYG descriptions, you can use conditionals. Replace both instances of {DESCRIPLENGTH} in the submit and edit templates with <IF {THISMEMBERUSERGROUP} is 5>1000<ELSE IF {THISMEMBERUSERGROUP} is 6>700<ELSE>500</IF>
A more foolproof method (trimming any longer submissions automatically) would require PHP, I could do that for $25.
Talking about conditionals. I have been struggling with them. Is it possible to do something like: <IF {THISMEMBERUSERGROUP} is greater than 2 and not 5>

Is it possible to limit or adjust the no. of characters remaining per usergroup for a listing description?
eg. Usergroup "Member" = 500 characters remaining, or if user is a member of Usergroup "Premium Member" = 1000 characters remaining
