Dear Forum
 
Dear forum:

You had us once with your 30 second posting rule.... you had us twice with a 60 second PM rule...... but now that you have changed yourself from 30 seconds to 120 seconds, a whole 2 minutes, I now, certainly, hate you.

If you were so kind enough as to die, I would be most graciously thankful.



Sincerely,
a friend to you,
Antago

I noticed it too :( But it should help cut back on traffic and spam (if that is the goal)

Too harsh:(

Antago 12-08-2001 09:35 PM

Who cares.
I haven't found one problem with spam yet.... and I've created like 30 threads. =/

This is just dumb. Thirty seconds was perfect.



Even right now I am waiting at least another minute before I can post this reply...

Lycia 12-08-2001 09:39 PM

Yeah, 2 minutes is long.

ShockwaveISTHEBEST 12-08-2001 09:41 PM

Yeah I noticed it too, but I guess we just have to live with it, or...

LilNiglet 12-08-2001 09:42 PM

30 seconds was FINE

Zulithe 12-08-2001 09:43 PM

Someone want to start a petition?

Considering I only post something when I have something very valuable to say, this won't really affect me. I didn't even know about it.

Dlaiyre 12-08-2001 10:22 PM

its true, might as well just sit back and cry, petitions never get anywhere, everyone here emailing might ;x

Admins 12-08-2001 10:29 PM

Um never knew that there was a post limit

What 'bout rping?

FatherDante 12-08-2001 10:54 PM

The time limit would make roleplaying on the message board easier, actually, because you are less likely to miss other people's posts if there is a time limit.

Zelgadis_Geywords 12-08-2001 11:58 PM

Gah.. So what if there is a post limit? It's only going to affect those who like to spam. =/

Or those who read, think, navigate, and type faster than 2 minutes.

smallballn13 12-09-2001 12:44 AM

ONO :(

Brad2 12-09-2001 12:45 AM

ZanderX 12-09-2001 12:50 AM

..

two minutes? good god.

Everything done on these forums to make them "better" slowly pushes me further and further away from them. It's depressing.

12-09-2001 12:53 AM

Man, this is as stupid as needing a current p2p account to post.

smallballn13 12-09-2001 12:54 AM

Petition wnt work i bet tho :(

ZanderX 12-09-2001 12:55 AM

Make one. You never know.`

if things like a signature/avatar/custom title
are easier to get?

amount of spam?

PS. I am now going to be removing the useless spam threads now that I have powers. I will review the threads thoroughly to make sure that there is no real content before deleting these threads and some messages which are just plain illegal.

Don't be so strict. Most of the staff on these forums have a horrible concept of what "spamming" really is.

These are PUBLIC discussion forums which users have PAID to use. We can talk all we want in a thread, it is not spam.

As I said to Mercury, spam is constant idiotic posting of just plain crap that's not worth reading.

As for the avatar/text bit, people don't, as you say, "spam" to get those. They simply "spam" because they like posting and they like chatting.

No offense, GodSpeed, but if you are going to enforce a "no spamming" rule with an iron fist, then, judging by your current definition of spam, the main forum is going to go to hell.

Illegal?
And do not remove this damn thread.

That 120 second thing is absolutely ludicrous. There is, virtually, no problem with spamming. None of us are going to lose sleep over spamming. It's not a big deal.
Ignore the spammers and get on with life. grrr

Slaktmaster 12-09-2001 02:07 AM

O GRATE ROLES

I TINKS WE ALL SHUD BE HAPPY NOW :rolleyes:

The forums were just fine.

haha, i like it how unixmad told us not to most less than one line of words and we should wait till we have 2 :(

BruceLee2000 12-09-2001 02:46 AM

people spam because they're stupid
and that's it

the only thing to do is raise the limit so people can get it through their thick skulls not to spam

Slaktmaster 12-09-2001 04:10 AM

Blah. How great. :(

Its better than two minutes at least.

Hm.. make it 31 seconds. That way you make Unixmad happy by keeping it raised.

James205 12-09-2001 04:19 AM

I only post 2-10 times a day, non of my messages are like 2 minutes apart, they are like 30minutes-1 hour. So it doesnt effect me.


All times are GMT +2. The time now is 02:39 PM.
