Rid the world of flood control. The only reason I can see that it's here is to stop the spam that's not on the forums anywhere other than it's supposed to be... (i.e. Forum Games.) It really doesn't help anything, it just makes posting more frustrating. I've read other threads that worry about Post Per Day and Post Count itself... and I ask. Why does it matter? We don't judge people by how many times they've posted. (I've been treated like an equal since post 6. Or 7.)

So I bring this petition. Sign if you agree, comment if you do not. (But please, no flames. Keep it clean and within forum rules.)

"We, the forum-goers of createBlog.com, hereby request that the 'Flood Control' option of the forums be removed."

Flood control only make sures that you actually read the post and spend time on replying instead of just spamming.

And official members have only 15 seconds of don't have flood control, while regular members have 30 seconds.

_smile.gif I know what flood control does, I'm petitioning to have it removed. It's annoying and unnecessary.

^ I have stated in my post why I think flood control necessary.
Using more than 30 seconds to read and reply to the topic shows that you at least have put thouht into your reply.

Yeah, I read that, but I don't think anybody should have flood control. The thread isn't about Official Members not having flood control, it's about the abolition of Flood Control in its entirety.

"kthx" And I don't appreciate the smug attitude. Leave this thread and take it with you, please. Thank you.

Your topic is already full of bullshit. I posted a link to the already created thread on flood control. There's plenty of discussion there.

And that thread wasn't created merely for the sake of disabling flood control for official members; it was the compromise members and admin reached.

Why the hell should regular members who (typically) aren't dedicated have no flood control?

I understand you don't agree with the topic at hand, but please don't fill this thread with your hate flames. I'm sure most people would expect more of their "official members".

If they aren't dedicated, what's the problem with ridding flood control? It's rather silly to have a flood control on a group of people who do not post, not effecting them in the least. But for those of us in said group that do post frequently, it's an annoyance more than a hinderance. Also, because I read at a decent speed and can type at more than 40 wpm does not mean I am spamming or posting irrelevant posts.

I simply do not see why flood control is needed, in theory or in action.

This is flaming. I assumed that forum was not tolerant of such posts.

And again. This isn't about being an official member to get rid of flood control. It's about not having it period. For anyone.

How in the world is that flaming? Do you even know what "flaming" is? Your topic is useless, you should use the search button. You still don't get it do you?

REGULAR MEMBERS ARE STUCK WITH FLOOD CONTROL.

Again, I will say that the other thread was originally on the issue of flood control for all members; the solution reached was to remove it for official members.

And that was not flaming; she was not attacking you, she was stating that your thread is crap. Which it is, because it's already been made before.

Hon. If they're not dedicated, they don't deserve it. It's even sillier to have no flood control for a member group in which there thousands of people who have the potential to spam up the entire forum. Just because you, as an individual regular member, find it annoying, admin isn't going to remove flood control.

If you hate it that much, just become an official member. Geez.

And stop double posting.

I think flood control for people who are not members is a good idea because it stops new users from spamming. I don't want to read a bunch of useless nonscense while IHEARTBUNNIES69 learns all the rules of CB. Sorry Evan.

Non-members can't even post besides in by-laws.

To everyone ever in the history of CB: Things cannot be changed to be only to your specifications, get over it.

Evan, we all had to deal with it, and if you prove you can handle posting without it (being an Official Member), then it is removed. You have to give to recieve.
