The reason we have flood control is so that people won't post every couple of seconds. Now posting is good, but every forum is on a database, and if it has too many queries at once, it will shutdown. But if anyone has any complaints about it, I might lower the time... |

Flood control. If I was a member I would be complaining as well. Though I suggest Sora look at this first. |

Every Invisionfree forum I know of has it set at 30 seconds before creating a new topic or posting another reply. It can be adjusted though. |

Yes, some spam bots post several times a second in every topic, in order to post advertizements or pornography or other spam type things. I think Flood control is a good idea, but set it to only about 5-10 seconds, as people like Kyjin are deligent posters and can type a rapid speeds, up to 20 posts a miunute most likely instead of being slowed to 2. I think Sora should just adjust it a tad. |

As this has already been explained and resolved, I'll lock this thread now. ![]() Btw, the current flood control is set to 5 seconds between each post and can't go any lower, so I think that should be ok as a balance. |
