Alright I've gotten some warnings some time ago and they've all expired already. Is my time limit between posting things still going to stay at 30 seconds between posts or will it ever be less than that? Or is that for everyone?

You mean, you sometimes feel the need to post twice within 30 seconds? :inquisitive:

Patience my friend. Your posts will be more valuable if you have a certain amount of time to think about what you're going to post.

You don't want us to think you like to spam post a lot with the sole purpose of increasing you postcount, do you?

:laugh4:

Yes I do Andres. It's usually when I'm in the Frontroom or Gameroom where I post and then find something else I want to post on and it tells me I can't post for another 15-20 secs so I have to wait and it just gets annoying for me. When I was trying to start this thread it told we I had to wait 70 secs before I could. It's just annoying for me.

In the immortal word of Simon & Garfunkle:



Slow down, you move too fast
You've got to make the morning last
Just kickin' down the cobble stones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy!
(La,la,la,la,la,la, feelin' groovy)


Relax and feel groovy Csar. :hippie:

Csar, I don't want to appear arrogant, but as a member, you do have an edit button, right?

If I have forgotten something but don't want to confuse people who have already read my original post, I sometimes edit in a final section:

"EDIT: Also, it is (blah blah blah) ...."

I don't think that was the issue, Csar was talking about posting in different topics, happened to me as well, but then again, I can wait a few seconds, it's not a big issue.:2thumbsup:

Like Husar said its not the same topics I'm talking about. I use my edit button when I need too of course.

I was just wondering if everyones time between there posts is 30 secs or if it just because of my old warnings.

Checked it. I must wait 35 seconds, only had 3 (inactive) PM warnings (no Warning Points) so far.

Mines around 30 seconds I think maybe more. 3 PM warnings and 1 minor Warning from Beirut. All of them are inactive
