6 min post limitation

[soloburrito]

sometimes I've seen 360 second messages when I'm trying to make my first post in days/hours.

It's a crazy long wait time.

I guess we all need to bear with it until getting member status.

[tropicalmonsoon]

Yeah it's really annoying...  Thank god it's only for new accounts, I thought it was for all accounts

It is there to prevent spam, and IMO it is working.

It's also preventing legitimate users from contributing in the areas they wish.

Sorry but if you really want to contribute with something , I think it will take you more than 360 seconds to read the thread and post a real response , not a two words remark.

I heard that the login is also taken into account  , so it means also 360 seconds after you logged.

6 minutes is good since it cuts done on the spam.

[Cdeaote]

Indeed, I am quite happy with the 360 seconds limit.
Without it, there will be numerous spam posts and ad posts all over the forum.

dont click any links for 6 minutes.

hmm maybe that was my issue. Seems odd though. After waiting for more than 360 seconds, when I try to actually submit a reply, then I'll get a message saying that reply was already logged from my iP or that it's a dupe reply. Meanwhile my reply won't even have shown up yet.

Smart idea to 6 min limitation. this forum is my fav now. new to bitcoins and i love it here

[Reacote]

It is okay for me.
I don't find it unendurable, and more importantly, it will go away when I get to member.

Come on 300 seconds will be over in the blink of the eye, why so worry and so much in a rush?

Seems to me to be more about control issues than anything else
eww look how long I can force people to wait.. oh Im in control
Oh look at me - controlling the masses
just another part of the police state

people run at different speeds - get use to it and adapt to their ways
instead of trying to restrict everyone to your ways
everyone has as much right to life as everyone else
without restrictions

 

look currently with 14 posts I got hit again by the 360 second rule again!!

--

I initially came to this forum to get help on a few issues happening out on the web

but your stupid forum rules quickly led me away from those issues and
detoured me from the life I was living

Hate to see whats happening to the peeps with adhd or add

this is what your rules do to peoples lives - its a massive distraction!!!!

and so I guess I will just keep popping up these added comments until
my 360  second time frame expires and I can post another comment to the forum...

So , the 360 seconds limit had an impact on your life style?
Since you registered in May , I think you could have made enough posts to get activity >15 , even with a 36 hours rule.

Whilst I agree it's not a huge annoyance does it really have much impact on spam? Never having spammed a forum with links ect myself I can only speculate, surely if you were spamming it'd be using some automatic software in which case it'd just be a case of altering the time between actions to ge around this?

After posting this I now have to wait one and a half minutes to search for something else.... And 360 seconds to make this post. I can see why people find this limit annoying. Would captcha or something else not be a better alternative? I can see how the time limit has an impact on the users experience on here. I'm going to go back to google instead of searching this site directly.

[pumpclub]

its very very anoying but it keep away spamers

[StuGuan]

不明白！！！！

[apsvinet]

My account is still classed as newbie but I don't seem to have the newbie restrictions anymore, at least not the full 360 seconds.

[j3steven]

The 360 second rule counts down on spams greatly, I dont want to think about what these forums would be like if you could post nonstop as much as you want.

Also, there is a 90 second search limitation too.  If you want to get around this, Google the same thing you were to search on here.  It will pull up results that are threads in this forum.
