Death to the post-rate limit

"The last posting from your IP was less than 120 seconds ago. Please try again later. "

You’re fricking kidding me.

I have to wait TWO MINUTES between reading and replying to threads?

Oh, and … if you try to refresh, waiting for that magic timer to vanish, it says:

“You already submitted this post! You might have accidently double clicked, or tried to refresh.”

…which is a lie, since the post was refused first time (verified by refreshing the main thread).

Of course, I probably won’t be allowed to make THIS new thread, because the whole thing occurred less than two minutes ago…

EDIT: NB: I have to edit my post, rather than reply to it, of course, because of the STUPID RATE LIMIT.

EDIT: Anyway, so, to reply to my own post:

Why don’t you make the rate-limit only apply to people with fewer than, say, 50 posts and two weeks membership?

I don’t think that’s an easy thing to do, but would be nice if it was only to people with less then 50 posts or so…
But it is needed for spam protection, so it’s either on or off, myself I think it should stay on.

Sorry! That was changed accidentally! It is now fixed :slight_smile:

Ah! OK, cool. Thanks

Oh so that option is possible? ah that’s good then.

This is why with long posts I usually Control-A Control-C everything.
