I don't think there should be a 30 second flood control on the topics that don't increse your post count. Becuase it is spam if you post more than 3 times in 15 seconds, but it also dosnt increase your post count.. so erm yeah. I don't see why it couldn't be done.. Becuase those fourm games move fast, and it's nice to be able to post fast in them.

Maybe there shouldn't be flood control for forum games because you usually only type a few words or so. They don't add to your post count anyway.

Can you have custom flood control options on a per-forum basis in IPB?

I agree. This flood control thing slows the forum game down and i don't like waiting.
It would be great if this custom flood control can be done :P

that's the best suggestion i've heard.. other flood control show have a message like hmm.. well you know how when you re-edit a post and it shows that message and it has a link saying, "if you do not wish to wait click here". that's my suggestion.

i make nice long slow post and still get flood control.

why? because i finish a post, go to another topic and start workiing on my reply.

BLEH.

flood control should be changed- you can't submit your post within 30 seconds of posting, but you can still start typing.

and don't say use fast reply.

Agreed; sometimes, when I post, I don't see the person who posted immediately before me, so I end up replying incompletely to post before me. Then, I try to use the quote feature to capture what the person above me said to edit into the post I just made, and it won't work because of flood control. :[ I don't know if any of you comprehend what I just wrote, but yeah. Haha. I agree with other Justin.

eh, i agree that is annoying. but, the arguement that forum games go too fast..is weak.

and, the flood control thing DOES help sometimes..removing it probably wouldn't be such a good idea.

Design Staff gets 21 forums. The most out of any of the mod groups beside Admins/Supermods. :DD Design Staff was fun.

And then Livejournal and MySpace came and I couldn't do it. mellow.gif

Anyways, when I was using my other username, I got flood control. Then I remember what it was like and it sucked. It whomped a lot of pie.

I'm not going to close it because it's mainly an admin's decision on whether we do anything about this, like Frankie said.

But no more off-topicness from this point on.

I hate the 30 second flood control. Some of us out here are faster typers and readers than others and it slows us down for a weird reason. Yea I agree. If you can't get rid of it just lower the time.

Ok, so I just noticed that you can't customize flood control delay time for user groups, you can only set it so that certain groups either have it or don't, as Justin pointed out earlier. I've removed flood control for Official Members and Official Designers. I hope these groups don't abuse his privilege and spam. If this becomes a problem, I'll have to revert it back. Hope this makes everyone happy. happy.gif

And I apologize for taking so long with this. Thanks for your patience.
