Nah doesn't completely bother me just like to spam :lol:
but this message is annoying me:
"Flood control is enabled on this board, please wait 30 seconds before replying or posting a new topic"

Maybe set it to 10-20 seconds instead?

And I was thinking of raising it, I always thought 30 was being generous.

I dunno. 30 seconds. hmm. normaly I can do 5 things in thirty seconds (blink, burp, scratch my ass, blink again, continue scratching my ass) so if I can keep my self occupided you can too.

So very, very, much faster. Justin, is it actually not available where you live, or is it because of parents or whatever that you don't have it?

Let's raise it to 60 secs. That way more thought may go into a post.

A spammer that puts a minute into his spam is an idiot.

Eh..It's a limit, I post on two message boards (the other has a good 5000 members and I have almost 1,500 posts), so I just go back and forth, and every time I see the flood control message, I go to the other one, post a bit, and come back.

I never get this message you's talk of. the simple joys of multitasking while forum surfing evens it out for me.
Try it, while yah waiting to post here. Take a second to switch screens and beat it to a picture of this

never mind.. the pic wont show.. eck.

i'll explain my problem with it, cause i keep getting it. i'm reading through a thread, i already know what i'm gonna say, i post and am immediately reading through another thread, and i know what i'm gonna say by the time i get to post reply there too, i click post reply and DAMNIT! and i have to keep clicking refresh till the 30secs are up, or perhaps in the second thread the only way i feel like i can figure out exactly what i want to say is putting it in words, and in mid thought pattern i get this stupid flood control message, it's annoying.
