OK apparently this is causing a hissy so let me explain. I implemented a flood control to prevent spam from unwanted posters. Basically this requires you wait sixty seconds before posting again. It cannot be limited to simply one thread, it has to be forum wide. It was the smallest increment I could implement, but we will see how it goes.

Cat recommends using those sixty seconds to perhaps save a puppy

Get rid of it, lest you and your site be cast forever into the depths of failure.

Why can't you limit it to new member's only.

How would i be able to save a puppy in sixty seconds. It will die.

Of course I disagree, I disagree with all retardation.

EDIT: Okay, why is it, that when I try to post within 60 seconds of my last post, I am told to go back, then the "OK" button gets bloody greyed out so I can't select it? Why, what's the point of that?!

I found that the best. You have to re-type your post all together.

Well, you don't necessarily have to re-type it, you can just copy and paste it, but it's just such a retardedly pointless and un-helpful feature, that just thinking about it makes my balls hurt.

Well, I know I'm not alone, it should go without saying that Odion dislikes this feature.

I guess you can copy and paste it. But it is still a wast of time.

Everyone hates this feature.

this is so annoying, I post in the PS3 forums, come here to respond to you, and now I have to wait to do it.

Whoever thought up this idea is a massive failure

Add that to your "**** List" thread!

However, I'll tell you that everytime I post, I have this weird "delay" thing going on. I originally thought that it was *^&&% browser, then the site. Looking at your posts, it seems that YOU guys are experiencing the same thing too, except I don't get a crazy message saying I need to wait like 60 some odd seconds before I can post in again.

Damn. I get the point of this, but it really sucks for those of us who aren't just on here to spam. I posted in the Warhawk thread, then went to edit the first post to add another player and it wouldn't let me. That was my first experience with this new rule and I must say it's kind of annoying.

Looks like we all have to pay for the actions of a few ****s.

Just think, we can make longer more thoughtful posts

But we might still be tweaking some stuff i dont know yet.

And it has always been like that! It's a fact life and it's absurd that we can change anything about it.

This might be the first time that most of the site agreed with each other.

Strange that Maddens isn't here fighting to take it off too....

Well I don't know what can you guys do or with what can you work with to resolve it, but it's going to be a pain for users that like/need to answer quickly.

User's that like to have conversations will feel like "Hammy" the hyper squirrel from Over the Hedge.. Jumping, running and waiting desperately for that 60 seconds to go crazy and post..... After that post... guess what??? Jumping and running all over again.
