The 1-minut post thingy

[charaman]

I;m ala6ys reading a few at once. Its really irritating to me.

They made the rule after I spammed the forums with a crapload of threads by hitting reply-back-reply-back over and over. Without it, the same thing could happen again, and with someone who wouldn't stop after around 30 spam threads.

I don't even think it's a full minute, because, when I do get it, I wait around 10 or 20 seconds and refresh the page and it lets me reply. Seems more like half a minute. *shrug*

i dont think alex can change this cause i think the person who did the PUB has to change it......

cause if alex could change this, wouldent he took the gun smileys away long time ago?but yet its still there so i think   Steven Rombauts  has to change it or whoever installed the PUB

[Drace]

So this is were it went. I never check this place. Anyhoe, like most have said. I'm to a quick reader/poster and sometimes forget because I must wait so long.

No, I'm pretty sure it's a feature within the Admin panel.

Even if it was direct in the code, Alex could change it. First, he has access to the actual PHP scripts since he owns the site. Second, he knows a good amount of PHP if he could've made the generators with it.

why is the gun smileys still here?

[Osmose]

Because it's totally ridiculous that idiots run around telling off people who use gun smilies, and if you're so anal about it that you want them removed because they bother you when you look at them so much, then you deserve the discomfort you recieve from laying your eyes on them.

Actually, you only told half of the story.

Most people who post gun smilies do it like this:

U GIMME SPRITE NOW!

OR ELSE!

Actually I'm pretty sure it's only 'bout 20 seconds since it doesn't take more time for me either. So it doesn't really affect me but I don't think it helps that much, I've only seen someone using the reply/back/reply/back tecnique like once or twice. But I'd say keep it.

On the gunsmiley issue it doesn't really affect me either. It's just smilies. But still I think three different gun smilies are a lil much.

That's true, but I've used just about every forum software out there, and they all have a feature to which you can customize the time on flood control.. Although.. PUB IS pretty old.
