Can this be change or completely eliminated for Senior Member? I find it annoying at some time. I consider Senior are no longer thread to AO for that type of flood.Quote:
Sorry! The administrator has specified that users can only post one message every 60 seconds.
I believe that would be a global setting in the admin panel, so you couldn't have it set differently for each user group.
It is a global setting, assuming AO is still running some of the original vBulletin code. I asked a while back for it to be changed to 30 seconds because it does get annoying sometimes (especially when I used to be on dial-up and couldn't stay on for long - 60 seconds meant I could only make about 20 posts a week) but obviously JP didn't do anything about it.
Personally, I think it would involve a lot of work to implement and wouldn't really bring about that much of a benefit. It's also useful to prevent accidental double-posting (another thing that I used to get on dial-up when connections timed out).
This is in fact a global setting. We can't change it for specific user groups without making some hacks to the code.
60 seconds isn't really that long to wait between posts ... how long does it take to post to a thread, open another, add a reply and hit submit? I think 60 seconds is a reasonable amount of time for flood-checking.

I certainly don't type that fast..................and most posts have some replies already that I need to read?
Is it that much of an issue?
Cheers
agreed.. I'd rather see the "last edited by" message to be extended to 4 or 5 minutes before it's seen.. that's the one that really bugs me.
The code change would be minimal no?
For your info, I usually open 4-5 thread in a new windows. That why sometime, I post a message on another thread, change Windows and read another small thread and type a quick answer happen 2-3 times per week.
If don't want to do it mnstrgrl, I'll understand.
It's not a question of wanting to make a change or not, but more a question of whether or not it's necessary. If there was more support for this (other people saying "yes! please change") I would do it, but it doesn't seem to be an issue for most people. That being the case, I'm not going to change it at this time.

You can get the hack from vbulletin.com.Quote:

And it doesn't take more then 10 minutes to edit the code without that particular hack anyhow..
I think that this should at least be considered..
cheers

Ok! I'll leave the board decide if they want to support it or no. :)
That hack probably wouldn't work on AntiOnline due to the sheer number of changes that have occured in the code over the years, although I suppose there would be no harm in testing it.
But the code only affects the Admin Control Panel..
You can Mod / Hack the VBulleting / PhpBB code as much as yah wanna, but it is still possible, because the modding is only affecting the Admin Control Panel..
cheers

I would imagine that the admin control panel will have been changed at some point as well. I'm not saying it's not possible (or even easy) but I personally don't think it's worth the effort.
Sounds like mnstrgrl is too lazy and doesn't wanna be bothered....damn, i miss the times this wasn't a corporate site.
It wasn't much better when it was run by JP in my opinion...Quote:

Register Apr 2003. Jupitermedia bought the site around that time no?
That's an unfair comment. mnstrgrl has done a fair amount of code changes here in the year or so that JUPM has owned this site. I have to agree with her in that it is unnecessary. I personally have never run into the "no posting for 60 seconds" when I post. As a mod, I'd rather have it not changed since the potential for massive spamming is opened up to occur faster. It doesn't stop it but it does limit it.Quote:
