Time in between posts problem?

**Mikeus Caesar** · 05-28-2005, 15:03

I have noticed, but since i got warned, the usual 20 seconds gap in between posts when you can't post a new post seems to have been elongated to a whole minute. Is this just the .Org being a bit slow, or is this something to do with my warning? Because if it is, then that's just FUBARed, because i am not spending the next 365 days or so waiting a minute in-between posts.

What did you do to get a warning?

**Templar Knight** · 05-28-2005, 15:19

Your warning is to last a year?

Your warning is to last a year?

All warnings last a year. Once a year is up, you have your points removed. But that's not the point, the point is, why am i having to wait anything from 40 seconds to a whole minute to reply to topics?

What's FUBARed?

Mine is still 20 secs, I think it is to do with your warning level.

FUBAR = F*cked up beyond all recognition.

Fubar comes from the german "furchtbar", meaning terrible.

I don't mean to throw gasoline on an open fire, but really MC , is waiting one whole minute between posts really that horrible?

Seems pretty minor to me, certainly not FUBAR. A harsh punishment would be like a ban, or getting locked out of a bunch of forums, but 1 minute flood control can't be the worst thing in the world.

You've made some decent posts and I'd hate to see you leave us, especially if you left angry. BKS is right.

I just saw a 'warnings level 3' in another watchtower thread and wondered what it refered to. A few seconds later I see my second one in this thread and realise that its not some kind of 'avatar-like' comment from the member. LOL.

I'd guess they're more common in the 'OT forums' but I dont post in those (here).

I seem to recall that your PM system will be disabled as well.

Nope. I can still PM.

but really MC , is waiting one whole minute between posts really that horrible?

When you're as impatient as me, having to wait a whole minute just to post what might be only 1 word makes you want to throw something threw monitor and throw the entire god damn computer out of the window.
