Waiting before posting again - 2qewl4u - 22-10-2009 08:27 PM
Is there any way the rule that we have to wait 5 seconds before posting again be shortened to like 3 seconds or if okay removed at all? I find it especially annoying when in Forum games lol
What's the point of it anyway?

How can you post two posts in under 5 seconds lmao?
Then again, I forget how fast-paces the FG were. I see your point.
It is kind of pointless. It's not like this forum needs it, we never get any flood posting.

It doesn't take 10 seconds for me, like a second or two at most. But still Ahmed, it's just five seconds, calm the heck down with you're crazy posting! You're a reincarnation of Bambi in her manic fast posting days. XD

It's to stop Spam Bots from being able to spam the forums any faster than they already do.
With FireFox you can have SEVERAL windows open at a time. Enabling you to set up close to 20 posts or more and without the 5 second rule ... imagine how over run the forums could end up???
The mods wouldn't stand a chance in getting rid of all the spam in time. And really, 5 seconds is nothing. Another forum I am on you have to wait 30 seconds before you can post again.
Learn to slow down, or chill out
The rule is there for everyone's safety.
