tiome between paosts

[Xehh II]

I was wondering why do I have to wait 20 secs between each post?

[CountArach]

It is a spam filter. I believe it is because it stops people form triple posting, etc and encourages the edit button.

[Xehh II]

But I lose everything.

[CountArach]

How much can you do in 20 seconds?

[Xehh II]

When I log on I find all the topics that interest me and open them all in new tabs, then if I choose to reply I do.

[pevergreen]

back button in the browser works fine.

Make sure to use advanced reply if there's a danger of that happening, as it saves form data.

What pevergreen said. For quick replies, back button in 70% of cases works fine. Only 70% though.
Advanced edit saves it 80-90% of the time, not 100% either.

As far as I'm aware, as Member, that flood control is normally 5 seconds, but if you post several posts in a short period, that latency increases. Best bet is just to wait a few secs between posts. The most sure method really.

(outside of becoming a senior member )

[sapi]

pah, the most sure method is to go read something else, coming back every 20 seconds to submit the pre-written post

Believe me, loads

[Xehh II]

20 seconds is too long and I'm sorry about posting this twice.

[Stig]

It's 60 seconds actually

[sapi]

It's determined by your warning level.

[doc_bean]

Doesn't your warning level go down in time ?

My time between posts only seems to be increasing, and it's been a while since I've been a bad boy...

Edit: 80 seconds at least for me.

[pevergreen]

Never had a warning, mine is about 10 seconds.

Odd. I can't see that you have any active warnings; so I'm not sure as to the cause of that.

There's probably some secret way the system works things out that only Tosa knows

80 seconds? That doesn't sound correct, I'll check.

[Motep]

I have to wait a bit as well.

edit:
Oh...only eleven seconds...

What abouth the time between pms? That gets annoying bigtime when your doing a mafi-type thing.

Hi Motep,
I don't think that the limit is 11 seconds - there seems to be a minor glitch in the software which informs the poster, when he does want to make a new post, that the time left is the flood control limit. I think that Xehh II is possibly correct in saying twenty seconds - I am lead to believe that the limit was close to that during my Member days.

[Csargo]

Mines 30 seconds. I don't have any active warning I don't think.

[Motep]

Mines 30 seconds. I don't have any active warning I don't think.

Now im down to twenty seven...should not have called pever what I did.

That's correct Omanes Alexandrapolites, the software calculates the time left. Nifty, isn't it?

[doc_bean]

Sorry, this is just a test to see if my flood control has changed.


EDIT: 20 seconds ! Thanks Tosa !

I was wondering why do I have to wait 20 secs between each post?

May be it is to try to reduce the prevalence of things such as threads entitled "tiome between paosts".

[Louis VI the Fat]

I want the tiome back up to eighty seconds for Belgian posters so I can beat them in debates by outposting them.
