30 Seconds Between Posts

Is this new, or am I just spamming more? :ack:

Knight-Dragon · Apr 13, 2004

I think it's an old 'floodgate control' thingie to prevent spamming.

Padma · Apr 13, 2004

So the answer is: you're spamming more!

Moss · Apr 13, 2004

It also helps prevent the probability of double or triple posts. But somehow those still manage to occur.

I really get on my nerves (since I just Opera, I flip back and forth bewteen posts I'm doing in MP, OT, SF, Computer Talk, Civ 2 SD, and sometimes the Civ 3 flora.

h4ppy · Apr 13, 2004

I think its old.

KaNick · Apr 13, 2004

I never noticed it (test).

Hmm, it just kicked in.

Achinz · Apr 13, 2004

I noticed that although you could post in the 30 second period, the post count doesn't increase. So definitely wait a minute.

Moss · Apr 13, 2004

There is that worrying about post count thing again. I would say that post counts should be omitted from this forum, but that would be shameless attempt to get off topic.

Turner · Apr 14, 2004

Annoying, isn't it? But what's even more annoying is the 120 second wait between searches.

How am I suppose to who I am better than at a glance

. I think postcount is a fine thing, people on these forums wont call you a "n00b" if you don't have enough post so there is no real reason to get rid of it.

Shabbaman · Apr 14, 2004

I think it's more the threatening banning stick that's preventing posters from calling you a newbie :rolleyes:

Dell19 · Apr 14, 2004

30 seconds isn't too bad, even posting in different forums at the same time usually won't trigger it...

Ankka · Apr 14, 2004

It's not terrible, it's fairly short anyway. I get it sometimes when I use tabs and try to post short posts in multiple threads very fast... but it's ok IMHO.

There's very little 'n00b' calling around here. I like to think that we're more mature than that.

Hmm.... looks like I'm twice as good as you!

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS! :lol:

/me waits for someone to come along with more posts than I and say the same to me. . . .

MarineCorps · Apr 14, 2004

How did you run it this thing anyways CG?

@Turner: I have a little less then half of your post count will that do?

Oh and your sig is an insult to civ3! No one here plays GTA3 or GTA VC!

Remove it at once!

Turner · Apr 14, 2004

It'ud only be an insult if GTA:VC beat out Civ3 in the gamespot fight. . . but it didn't.

Nah. . . I'm going to change it soon. Probably something from Freelancer. . .

And no, half the PC doesn't count. Hmm. . . there's an idea for a sig. "PC + 1 Wo0T!"

Dell19 · Apr 14, 2004

I believe someone has used that idea before

Its pretty easy if you post like I do: Read a thread, make a meaningful post, let off some steam by opening a big thread, reading the first post, and making some flippant comment.

But seriously, I've only run into it once or twice.

@ Turner: The best sig like what was, uh, China I beleive. He had

ANOTHER GREAT POST FROM CHINA 444!!

Strider · Apr 14, 2004

It's been here ever sense I've been around, I hit it every once and awhile.
