While mollom.api.php contains developer info for which fields to expose in the first place,

Field API/CCK, Webform, and other third-party modules can expose arbitrary text fields, which may or may not be suitable for inclusion in text analysis.

I've encountered some bogus configurations in support requests in the past, so adding a description here would be very helpful.

Ideally, we'd also explain that the total amount of text being checked through enabled fields should be longer than a few words.

There's no minimum length for text analysis, but people often make the mistake to use text analysis on forms that consist of contact/address information fields only, which isn't really suitable for text analysis.
