flood control


Recommended Posts

My tyopong is attrorcious and when I do a search and hit return and the mispelling shoots off and fails, I have to wait 20 seconds before I try again. I usually give up as by the time a new opportunity comes up I will have forgotten what I was searchng for.

 

Same with PMs. I am not sure how the flood control stops spammers but I wonder if we could reduce it to five seconds or less. Mind you, the 20 second delay this time meant I had time to write this moan. :rolleyes:

If you try to post multiple entries (forum posts, PMs, emails) within a "too short" period of time, the forum software may tell you that you have to wait. This "flood control", as the message calls it, is to prevent individuals (particularly automatic spamming software, I suspect) from overloading -- i.e., "flooding" -- the system.

 

If you haven't experienced it, that's because you haven't (yet?) tried to post or PM twice or more in quick succession.
