+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 We were talking about flood-control in this post before SirRalanN shut it down. It took him quite a while to do this, so I decided to see how long it would take me (not that I'm competitive or anything) SirRalanN posted from 9:25pm-12:15am, roughly 3 hours I posted from 11:21pm-11:52pm, that's only 31 minutes! So to answer the question posed in the other thread, I don't see having 30 seconds between posts as a problem. I find it inconvenient at times, but it does prevent spammers from flooding the forums with junk. Ugh...I just realized the picture quality stinks..darn that 100k limit! (that's another thread waiting to happen) Link to comment
+Halden Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I get hit by it once in a while but I'll take it to prevetn tons of "natural" Viagra adds from popping up in the forums. Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I get flood control from time to time, but usually only when I've responded to a thread at the same time someone else did, and I have a response to their post. I don't see it as any big problem, I'm still able to post up to 100 posts per day. Link to comment
+planetrobert Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 it didnt take me that long actually, i just was sustaining that over a 3 hour period as others trickled in and posted... I closed the other tread coz i thought maybe i shouldnt push the envelope too much Link to comment
Jeremy Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 SirRalanN has been restricted for posting in the forums for 5 days. I received many complaints of this behavior and it will stop. Now. Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 Sorry that happened, Jeremy. This thread was not intended to make "fastest posting" into a competition. Its purpose was to continue the discussion on why we do have a 30 second minimum between posts. It appears that this is a good limit as far as Spam is concerned, and only slightly annoying for those of us that can read and type fast. Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 It slows me down, but I get over it. Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 SirRalanN has been restricted for posting in the forums for 5 days. I received many complaints of this behavior and it will stop. Now. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I dropped a hint last night that was not all that subtle. I guess I should have used a brick. It is sad that it takes a brick to get the point across sometimes. Let me know if you need any more Jeremy. Link to comment

You must have missed his apology post that he started and locked right away to prevent responses. He was eventually given a 10% warn and no ban (according to that post) Link to comment
