Flood Control

Peace Alliance · January 22, 2005, 05:01:09 PM

i personally can't stand the flood control timer, especailly since we have so many mods and admins i think if there is a flooding problem, they could take care of it on their own..

Cant stand it. 10 seconds at maximum.

I find it tolerable, it usually takes me more than 30seconds to find a new topic to reply to neways so....Unless someone else just replied to something after I did and I have a response to their's then it bugs me...

"what is it?" Something about water?

No one ever said I have to know what I am doing, ony that I must do it.

Are you being serious Wolf? You don't know what flood control is? Or am I reading your post wrong......

It's when you try to post right after you've just posted, it makes you wait 30 secs till you can post again and it's fricking annoying!!!!!!!!!!!

*bursts out laughing at Wolf's post*

Hm, checking up on this, flood control is actually 20 seconds, I think I lowered it about a month ago...I'll wait till more people vote in this poll and become aware of this as an issue, and I'll lower it to a more reasonable number. It was put in to control spammers, but that was an awful long time ago.

[edit] I was the one for voted for 'i love it', by the way, just so you know. ^_^ My sister forced me to choose it...

I wasn't sure what he meant for a second either. But I don't like it, especially for the Spa Room...

No. Its still 30 Shael. Its tolerable usually, but in the Spa Room its quite annoying, I actually counted the seconds once. Its definittely 30, and that's what it says on the screen. BTW. Very funny wolf bite, I'm falling out of my chair. Really. *Rolls Eyes* If I hear one more bad pun.... so help me! I'll do something!

No, TJ, quite often i know exactly what i'm going to post next right away... usually because one topic sparks an idea for another, or because i'm just looking on recent posts, so i have a list to check and post on...

Scarwake · January 23, 2005, 08:51:27 AM

*whispers to Peace* I said it usually takes ME a few seconds to find the next topic I'm going to reply to, which is why its tolerable unless I want to reply to something just posted after I posted....

Nohcnonk · January 23, 2005, 12:15:59 PM

I really think Wolf didn't know what the topic was about...

Kind of, sort of.

I know that flood control typically is the amount of data that may be passed in a given period of time. However I did not know, until reading this topic, how it was being used in this context or that this site had a limitation. I suppose I have never posted 2 times in under 30 seconds to have to deal with it and had no way to know other people had problems.

It is really bad, annoying. I go through quick, because I read all the new topics, than go right down, and it happens quite a bit to me. Shael, maybe you should lower it. I mean no one spams like that anymore, they just spam by saying stupid pointless things. And for the spam room, it ruins it.

The Lady Shael · January 23, 2005, 03:27:44 PM

You probably have though, the flood control doesn't apply to us, Wolf.

Absolutely, I'll definitely be lowering it, so just hang tight.

RazorClaw · January 23, 2005, 07:28:13 PM

Hmph. I 'gree with Wolf. How can an internet site have water? I suppose people could post images...
