Sorry, the board administrator has enabled search flood control. Please wait at least 30 seconds before trying again. I only started getting it when I lost my official designer title.(temporarily.) What is it and why does it happen to me so much? |

"Internet forums often use a flood control mechanism to prevent too many messages from being posted at once, either to prevent spamming or denial-of-service attacks. Internet Relay Chat servers will often quit users performing IRC floods with an 'Excess Flood' message." - Wikipedia
Avoiding flood control is one of the privileges of being an Official Member/Designer. Since you lost your title, you lost that privilege as well. Maybe you need to stop attracting warnings, yeah? |
