Flood Control?

[koberulz]

i just made a post in the letting off steam thread. i fucked up the bold tags. when i attempted to edit it, i got a message saying i wasnt allowed to post so soon after my last post. is there now flood control or something? cause i used to be able to do that.

It's a sign. Telling you not to post in purple, copying Nick

well if you couldnt edit ur last post recently, just wait like 4 or 5 more seconds, then do it again.l you can edit it then

[koberulz]

i did. but it's never stopped me in the past when i've fucked up.

It's not flood/spam control. It's normal. Even when you try to submit 2 posts almost at the same time (within 2-4 secs. interval) it happens.

[koberulz]

like i said though, its let me do it in the past.

[shadowgrin]

IT'S NORMAL! NOTHING IS/WAS WRONG! MAYBE IF YOU SLOWDOWN TRYING TO REACH 1000 POSTS AND STOP POSTING LIKE A RETARD YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GOT THAT "PROBLEM" IN THE FIRST PLACE!

(Sorry for the caps, just had to let the rage out because of koberulz)

EDIT: In response to the post below:

i dont feel i need to slow down, nor do i feel i'm spamming

Crazy people don't know they're crazy.
Spammers don't know they're spamming.

i dont feel i need to slow down, nor do i feel i'm spamming. the mere fact that i have a quarter of the posts of most people here as long as me should be proof of that.

i was just saying, it has let me edit that quickly in the past. maybe/evidently i was mistaken.

Always been there, you probably always just fucked up bad in the past so it took more to edit.

[koberulz]

apparently. although most of my problems come with having no b in the first bold tag, and i could swear its been that quick before...evidently, as i said before, i was mistaken.

There is a flood control in phpBB by default and it's been active since this forum opened. It's set to 10 seconds so if you try to edit your post within that time you'll get that message. I'd say that in the past when you've edited your posts you haven't done it as quickly and thus didn't fall victim to the 10 second threshold.
