Subject: Spam Filter..

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

When, how, why, inform me..

Why: To put a brake on spam.


Also all threads that have not had a reply in 60 days are locked, with their own special icon!

It's stops people from posting every couple seconds.

Like if you post in one topic and you go straight to another topic and try to post it won't let you. You'll have to wait like 50 seconds.

l don't like the one post a minute. lt should be.....once every thirty seconds. l'm a fast typer and l like to stay on top of things. But the one topic every three minutes should be like five minutes. The replys are to long of a wait and the topics are to short of a wait. l mean REALLY! Who needs to make a topic every three minutes besides a spammer? No one.

I bet this helps the mods a whole lot, now spammers can't cover a whole page because in the time it would take, the mod would discover the spam and ban the guy.

It is a rolling 24 hour limit... each account can only post 7 topics in a 24 hour window, defined by the timestamp of the first topic it posts that do.

This is awesome, and should be a great improvement to b.net.


Let's see what message I get when I try to post right away again...

Edit- Oooh, that red text is scary.

Red when I tried to post again within a minute. That is what I was referring to, not Achronos's text. Gosh.

I'm glad it's rolling. That's what I assumed, but didn't want to spread false info.
Now, I am also assuming the timestamp is stored with Bungie and not in cookies. I am also assuming that iif it is in the cookies you aren't going to say so here.

The Most Obvious Use for the "X" Button

MALSH

Dude, Pimps at Sea is like Halo, going 30 knots in a harbour, being chased by clippers and Man-o-war. And the Man-o-war are firing.

Why is it telling me I can't post anything more today?

I'm trying to edit a post, in someone elses topic. I've only created one new topic today. It's telling me I have to try again tommorow, I've exceeded the topic creation limit.

I guess it is an error in the time limit thing, it's doing it again right now...

I have to say, the Edit time limit is VERY annoying when you forget and hit submit instead of preview.

I have to double post to add this, it won't let me edit despite waiting 2 minutes.

It appears that there is a small bug with the counter... edits are sometimes getting counted.

As it is late on Friday, we can't get a true fix out until next week (Tuesday, due to Labor day holiday), but I'll increase the limiter over the weekend to something higher (like 14) until it gets fixed.

To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

"heh"

What is the special icon?

OFF TOPIC: Oooh, Achronos, you've been especially active lately.

Ah, good news :)

One question, if a thread ever falls into the 60 day disuse catagory, can it be revived by a mod if, for some reason, it is deemed pertinent, or would it be assumed that a new thread linking the old one would suffice in its place?

I believe the hue you are searching for is orange.
