Isn't it possible to 'custom remove' it for credited user?

I mean, flood control is a security matter to avoid unknow newbies to overspam the board, right?

Well, if a user is already enough well know not to be a spammer, why not get rid of the annoying FC for him?

Let me know your opinions!

Nope, its a global setting... Would not be easy to make it a per user setting. :(

How about 30 seconds? Thats a reasonable time. 90 seconds is insane. :(

You would not say that if you had been here for the incidents which caused us to set it at ninety seconds. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

back then, the warroom posts counted toward the total, and Biomotor, you weren't as vigilant/active then as you are now. So if shit broke out, you'd be ablee to put the slap down on it.

It's really annoying for PMs. I don't mind flood control elsewhere on the forums. Maybe a request for the next ubb upgrade. :)

Ubb is not that advanced. Ubb is good but it dosent have many options, most boards not upgraded have like 100 options more then ubb. And in my opinion boards like PHP that are FREE, are like 50 times better then ubb. <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

You could lower the time in some sections and just leave the 90 seconds on the most trouble ones. That sounds fair. <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" /> :D

I say just leave it as it is. Its been put at that time for a reason as biomotor_unitron has said.

There is no rush to post everything at once. Yes i have got annoyed with it a couple of times but if its there then its there. :)

i personaly miss how it was a bit back then. i mean i didnt post so much much just to have a high post count(though i guess some did) i just posted beacuse i was having fun talking/flaming/ accting dum ect. i suppose its wrong that i used the war room sorta as a chat. i dunno its sad that i guess most the people aperently just went to the war room to have a high post count as no one is there anymore.
