I have a fast connection and I am a fast reader so I usually have to wait almost an entire minute before I can reply again due to the 60 second Flooding time. I think it would be better to shorten that time to 30 seconds or something like that. If you still want to control it a bit, maybe only shorten it for users with a certain numbers of posts.

I don't think the flooding time is that long. Just be patient, it's only 60 seconds minus the time it takes you to read entries. 30 seconds is way too short and that would just encourage spamming.

exactly, the 60 seconds period prevent from spamming and double posting.

Yeah I agree that it lessens spam, but I am also a fast reader and with High Speed internet waiting 60 seconds feels longer then it really is. But 30 seconds is to short. Maybe 45, right in between?

Nah i think 60 secs is really good...It&#39;s the same almost on every forum i go to and if you can&#39;t wait, well do something else during that minute.

How many threads do you reply to? I mean, it&#39;s one thing to do the general discussion games, but I notice that most of your posts come from Naruto... Normally, you could read 10-15 posts, then reply. Are you saying that it takes you 60 seconds to fully read those 10-15 posts? Or are you just skimming them? Or do you reply IMMEDIATELY when you see someone else has replied to a post?

I forget what happened, but I used to trigger the &quot;You&#39;re posting too fast&#33;&quot; warning a lot.. but now I don&#39;t. 60 seconds is fine. If it becomes a real problem, then join the IRC channel and chat in there for 59 seconds.

no i do not think flooding time should be shortened. the purpose of the timer is so that you can also take your time reading a good thread and replying with a well thought out answer.

Read fast, but think well on the quality that your going to post, i think the flood time is perfect.
