So I find a topic in the off-topic area advertising. Wanting to report it but I'm getting the 360 seconds error. I understand having this limit on new post for newbie. But I dont understand why having this limit to report a post. Why would a newbie want to spam-report posts?

Why would a newbie want to spam-report posts?

To troll the mods? It also would be easy to make a bot to do so and send 1000s of fake reports to basically kill the report system.

Just be a little patient. You are only newbie for a couple of hours.

All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

It could be used by bots to ddos the site, though I agree it is annoying having to wait in between posts etc. it quickly gets dramatically lower as time goes on though.

They are the moderators. Their jobs is to review reported post. One suggestion, newbie can report newbie without the need to wait (since most spammer are newbie). If they want to report a higher rank, they will need to wait for 360 seconds.

It's the rule that theymos set to newbies, and unfortunately it also affects the reports as well. As your rank is upgraded, the waiting time will be reduced dramatically(but you will still have to wait some time). Imagine that staff members too have to wait 4 seconds to re-post or report again Tongue

That won't stop people ddosing the site though. Besides, it's rare that newbs sign up here and jump straight into reporting posts. It's just one more slightly annoying restriction they'll have to live with until they move up in activity.

The newbie restrictions are based on actions, I guess reporting a post is counted as an action by SMF,  just like posting or sending a pm. Not because we want newbies not to report posts. Definitely something to note in the new forum software needs if it isnt there already.

It will decrease...

Code:
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
        waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

I still run into this from time to time. Completely understand why there is a restriction on it though. I can imagine it being a pain in the arse for staff members. Tongue

Sounds pretty silly but timing mechanisms are a must too.  Who knows maybe it will get updated or something.

Thank you for giving the open-source code. So this mean if my activity is more than 15 the wait time will be 90 - activity? I still dont understand - the code.

Agree. I do hope it will be updated in the new forum software.

The wait time is 75 seconds once you hit 15 activity.

everybody here was newbie at the beginning...
and if you are really interested in this world,
you'll see who to wait 360 seconds to write, is not at all a problem...

all in all, i think this is a very simple and effective way to prevent bitcointanlk DDoS attacks!!!

at least at the beginning of user life!!!
