$#!& 40-second post rule!!
« on: Mon, 10 June 2013, 09:39:23 »
Can't even reserve posts in your own thread now, because someone jumps in before you can post again...

Yeah a reduction would be greatly appreciated.

The worst thing is when I hit send and the error pops up, my typed message disappears so I have to retype that if I didn't Ctrl+C.

It's so annoying, especially since the counter resets if you jump the gun and send early (for pm's at least)


It makes replying to everyone in a timely matter a chore that doesn't need to be there.

I agree about the aggravation respond to PM's and since this 40 second thing I've had a hard time posting pictures from Tapatalk because it just keeps giving me the popup that I'm posting too soon.

It's a very nice moose! Also maybe 40 second rule until you hit your 60 posts?
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

No doubt she's waiting for you to call.

No thank you, sir. I'm quite content with what I currently have.

Back on topic, can we at least know the reasoning behind this new change?

I have to agree with this suggestion.  It also seems like the 40 seconds start over each time you try.

Maybe you guys should limit the 40s rule to the same recipient.....if you really want to prevent spamming :cool:

EDIT: for PMs, that is

yeah the 40 second rule sucks, and i swear then 40 seconds resets sometimes when you try and post within the 40 seconds

i also wish if you edited an op it bumped the thread, as it stands now if you want to add something to the original post you still need to then post and bump the end of the thread so people can see the op has changed

I concur that the rule sucks, but I said this in the feedback section and SpamRay showed me that 40 seconds is to prevent the 16 posts/per day type of thing.

I agree with this request, not with just public posts but also PMs. I understand it's to prevent spamming. But sometimes when I haven't logged in for a whole day or more, I have to answer PMs quicker and that time interval limitation is quite annoying. I posted this request somewhere else too.

The 40 seconds rule destroys answering PMs. I sometime have 1 minute to reply to PMs and now I can't do that because I can only reply to 2. It's absurd.

Yeah this was kind of annoying. Needed to respond to some PM's , had to go find something to do in between PM's... ended up starting to read a manga chapter because it took so long. 7 PMs took me almost 10 minutes.

With Swype? Absolutely!!! But I also use my GNote2 w/ external monitor and keyboard sometimes ;)

Edit - Make that Swype + Tapatalk. Posting in a browser with phone is painful lol

Edit 2 - If you do not have Tapatalk, I will buy it for you WFD. Simply send me a PM with a request for it lol  :)

Jocelyn always pimping out Tapatalk  :p

But yes I often shoot off PM's and make posts within 40 seconds even on my phone.

The biggest annoyance I have had is when attempting to post photos from tapatalk and using forum hosting it seems to count adding the photo as a post and you have to wait 40 seconds to even try and post or it just gets stuck in a loop.

some staff members were becoming concerned with the number of double (and triple!) posts that were popping up from a few users; we didn't expect such a negative global reaction. the timer has been set back to 10s. we will continue to monitor the situation. remember, there's a fine line between being prolific and just spamming ;))
