Ok mod let me try.
The spam filter is a problem for everyone, shure its a great way to stop a spam attack, but its annoying for the average bungie member. I hope from thread to thread read what they say and post my 2 cents, but then i get slammed by this retarted filter. It says wait 30 seconds, i wait and click submit, it says wait 30 seconds, i wait and hit submit, I try one last time with no results. I say screw it and dont post.
The spam filter is hurting groups especially. People who dont have all day like the mods do cant be has active cuz the filter hits them when they try participate in threads. So what i am saying is that the filter may be making the mods job easier, but its pissing alot of people off who have no intention of spamming. Its protecting the main forum while oppressing the groups.
I had to get that off my chest.
¶ ooo, I REALLY want that karma system to be here right now...
Dude, I think it was a 50 second timer on each individual post. And its a little longer when creating new posts.
Also, I believe achronos edited it as I used to have to wait an entire 50 -60 seconds after hitting submit, everytime. Now I just have to wait 50-60 from the last time I posted something and it took. So hitting submit repeatedly doesnt matter.
In reality, it takes 2 seconds for me to load a page. And 2 seconds for me to hit the thread I want. On average, 10 seconds to read a small, and I mean fairly small post. And I read fast. Mebe a 4 liner. Then it takes another 2 seconds to hit reply. Then at least 10 to write out a 1-2 sentance reply. Thats already 26 seconds gone bye. But then you think, about other replies that you may read. I dont often go into a thread with 6 replies, read the first, and reply immediately without reading those. It makes you look stupid doing that. So its another 10 seconds for each reply. Then there is the fact your previous post probably wasnt a 2 liner that took a few seconds, and if it was, there is still the 15 seconds to submit it. and sometimes more. So now your well over a minute in time and free to hit the submit button problem free.
The only times you would run into a problem would be when posting something less than 1.2 sentances long or just a quick "lol". If thats all there is, dont post it. Or quote someone, that will knock off an extra 3-4 seconds from your timer for you.
Other than that, only group things would get in the way. For example, creating new posts for a group. If you start a group, there are many stickies you must make, but how often does everyone start a new group? That needs more than 1-3 stickies to begin with? If you do, then just open a new window and watch something on the net, get something to eat, etc. Or go into IRC and chat whilst the time whittles down.
Yes, I have been hit by it in the group situation, but its not that bad. Have you seen any spam attacks since its creation? Just one failed attempt. Thats it. BIG cut from what used to be.
Dont whine about it, its not gonna fix it. Its here to stay. Learn to make better posts, and be PATIENT!!!
Also, I think the 7 new topic counter is for each forum. Cause I made 6 in a group then 2 more in another group then 1 in The Septagon and it didnt stop me in the same day.. So its really not that bad.
Achronos put it together perfectly. Just have some patience and learn to deal with it. ¶
