Sorry, we can not process your request. The board administrator has enabled flood protection for this function. You must wait at least 60 seconds before trying this request again.

Is this necessary? I can respond to a few posts in under 60 seconds, why should those who can efficiently respond to threads be punished by this message and be forced to wait to post messages > 60 seconds apart?

It's not every 60sec, accually you can only post once every minute so if you post at 2:30 you have to wait for 2:31 to post again.

60 seconds = 1 minute

I mean if your post was at 2:30and50sec you could post again at 2:31and 13sec. That's the way it works for me.

flood protection was off for a while, and things were good, but the amount of idiots that have frequented the boards over the past few weeks have probably led the admins to set up some preventative measures.

Flood control used to be 90 secs...

that was hell.

I can imagine the horror if people like FWFSS, Jet Li, or others like them are allowed to post without the flood protection...scary. annoyed

I really hate it when I'm replying to PMs. Two suggestions:

Apply FP to those that are known to abuse it. Let everyone free until someone abuses it. Only problem is we've had random bitches just start an account and post TONS of shit right off the bat. Sucks.

At the very least, turn it off for PMs. I mean, Jesus, we're not going to "flood" PMs, will we?

You'd think they could at least disable it for Private Messages. It's not like it can publicly annoy everyone, and if the recipient doesn't like it, they can simply put the person on their ignore list.

we.ve had this many times before and i think 60 seconds is fine, but i do agree about it being taken off for PM's but it dose'nt bother me that much.
