Unable to post

Why make it so hard for new user?

To prevent spambots, spammy users and to force people to think before they post. Don't complain, the rules were a lot more strict back in the day. Back then new members could only post in their own subforum, so other users wouldn't be bothered by those new users.

It's annoying but it gets easier as time goes on. I think its a good feature.

Arrgh, this is really annoying. Wish there was a countdown clock somewhere

Just keep an eye on the time and make sure you wait six minutes after you post.

making the conclusion on a large number of comments - it's not easy to post on this forum

I keep trying to post here. Whenever I do, I get an error saying something like "The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later." This is true even if I haven't posted at all.

Then, when I try posting again, it said "You already submitted this post! You might have accidentally double clicked, or tried to refresh." and wouldn't let me post it.

Unfortunately, despite all that, it doesn't look like my post was submitted at all. It still says I have 0 posts in my profile, and I can't post anywhere but here. So I'm trying again. :|

You are not the only one it's annoying me to!

Very annoying. I guess all we can do is wait to get more activity.

The limit actually stops some spammers to spam too fast. Some people just create accounts and spam the forum. It is annoying but those who are really interested in this forum would spend some time to post and gain more activity, their limit will then be removed.

Something that helps, when you forget you are targeted by the 360 seconds.
