The Forerunner, the Great Journey, and Heaven Theory

[Announcement Trailer] Halo: Forerunner

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

What an exceptionally poor arguement.

It is quite useful, chances are people that make posts less than 30 seconds from each other don't put much thought into the post.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

It's only thirty seconds.
Also, if it wasn't there we would have to deal with more spam like posts. Such as "*Insert name here* is a pegboy", or have millions of links to inappropriate sites everywhere. The thirty seconds protects us from that.

Well played Deathcon. Now people will understand my reply.

Its 30 seconds OP. If its taking 5 minutes, then there's probably something wrong on your end.

I do agree that it would be useful if it was shut off in groups. I don't care enough about it to demand that or anything, as I have not hit the spam throttle in years.

But seriously, I have a watch and a clock in my room, and it was like 5 or 10 minutes since I first tried to submit, and it still wouldn't let me
Fix your clock.

I forgot there was a spam throttle. If hitting it is a regular occurrence then I think someone is favouring quantity over quality. My opinion on it is different with regards to private groups and I definitely don't say that because I favour private groups over the mains ._.

You obviously aren't making thoughtful posts if you frequently encounter the spam filter.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

I didn't even know it existed till about 2 months ago, I felt like I should have got some sort of achievement for it to be honest.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Because I have to wait to post and sometimes it's not 30 seconds it's like 5 minutes or something it's not removed at least fix it and keep it consistent
That's not what a liability is.

And if you think it takes 5 minutes for the 30 second filter to reset, then I think you need to find a new way to keep track of time.

Might I suggest purchasing a fog-horn that goes off every 30 seconds to help you know when it's okay to post again? Or a really loud ticking clock.


Lol

He's right, it has done that, BUT, it only ever happened to me once, it was a one time glitch, and the spam filter is a good way to stop fruity kings that like to spam.

I've always hated spam filters. It annoys regular users more than spammers.

Of course people aren't gonna stop spamming, the reason it was even implemented into the system, is to slow them down.

So in your main post, you just mentioned the whole reason/point why it's used.

Exactly, just cause you can't stop a problem completely doesn't mean you should not make an effort to make it better anyway.
