what's this wait 30 secs b4 u post another msg about?

so what's the point to have a fast connection if u have to wait b4 u can post another thread? 馃槧

Its there to stop spammers.

can u not set it to non-member only???馃檨

Yeah, that really sucks sometimes. But I've learned to live with it.

Restricting it to non-members isn;t much good; spammers tend to be full members!

It IS a a pain but not as much as a pain as when some idiot joins up and posts a hundred useless messages in a couple of minutes and the mods have to spend all the time deleting it.

Hmm...didn't know so many people encountered it.

I'll disable it....on a trial basis, of course.

well, I don't care about that,...except when you're going to do like Ezboards with ONE minute!

That's why with my ezboards I have the wait one minute thing turned off.

Until I get a helluva lot of members though.

You enabled it in the first place because of a couple of people who were messing around, didn't you, Raz?

I think it was just precautionary. I can't remember a time when we were 'post bombed'.

That happened at the GameWinners Forums in the Rogue Leader section. This guy (he had a name like Roseburne or some stupid name like that) posted threads about how much Star Wars sucked and what his favorite band was. Then he started throwing shit at everyone. He was eventually banned because the mods hadn't been around. They locked every thread he made and deleted every post he made after they came back. He made probably 200 posts before the mods locked him away in the Yerssot Wacko Asylum.

But I don't know anyone like that here and I'm sure no one will. Everyone will just send all the shit they post right back at them. 馃槀 馃槀

Note:
The Yerssot Wacko Asylum denies any knowledge of the person Roseburne, in the asylum and outside.
