Stupid, annoying policy

[Beldaran]

You know what annoys the fucking shit out of me? When this happens:

Do we really need this stupid "feature"?

[Starkist]

Strange. Never happens to me.

I think you've been posting too much.

And it's not really stupid, imagine how open this forum would be to spam if that protection wasn't there.

[Beldaran]

It's not my fault you guys type and think very slowly. I'm fast and amazing, and this feature hinders my genius. It's horrible.

[Breaker]

Waiting 60 seconds is really not that big of a deal.

[Beldaran]

It's not a big deal. It's just stupid and unnecessary.

Drawing a smiley face on your dick with a marker is also not a big deal. It's also stupid and unnecessary.

[Breaker]

I believe it's to stop spam bots from hitting the forums with abunch of advertisements, which you don't see any of because we've gotten pretty good at moving them to the hidden trash forum pretty quickly after they're posted.

[Beldaran]

Can't we just setup a system where, if a spambot makes a post, the guy who programmed the spambot has his testicles explode?

[Nicholas Steel]

So, your pissed off at a feature then make a wildly stupid unfeasible solution to replace the feature.

I am 100% in favor of this new policy. Let's start enforcing it now! :tongue:

But seriously, it would suck without the 60 lapse if a bot gets in here, floods the place with posts and makes the forum crash in the process because it can't handle the volume of crap. Not fun.

[rock_nog]

That would be a silly thing for a spambot to do - then nobody could actually see the spam. Then again, it's silly when bacteria multiply to the point where they kill their human host, too.

It would be a lot less annoying if it was 40 seconds. The reason I break the barrier so often is because a) I type fast and b) I usually have 10 or so tabs open with all the threads I'm following, and I reply to them one after another in quick succession. There's no "browsing" between posts. First I setup all the posts I'm interested in.

40 seconds would be better.

[Nicholas Steel]

make it -60 seconds so that we are always posting and it is a 60 second break for stopping posting!

That makes you somewhat pathetic.

:P

Maybe you could try posting like a normal person. Because we are all normal people.

What if its a woman? I don't want discrimination.

[Russ]

I think it should just be thirty seconds. I think it was originally made because if you accidentally clicked on the post button twice, it would post you message twice. With this sytem, it will prevent the accidental double posting from happening.

Being more efficient does not make me pathetic. I don't feel the need to water down my massive intelligence so you will think I'm normal.

You know, for once in my life, I agree with you. It does get annoying seeing that "please wait x seconds" message when I'm trying to post.

HA!


Efficiency is not needed on a casual level. Unless you're getting paid per post. If so, I want in.

I move that if this thread hits 100 replies we should lengthen the period to 120 seconds for twice the annoying factor.

[ZTC]

lol
I'm just glad to be able to post again. When I'm speed posting between 3-4 forums w/firefox, it can be bothersome sometimes to wait 'x' seconds; but I deal with and wait :shrug:

I say if your plan gets put into action, we ban you. :D

[Jemsee]

So you get a mssg that you have to wait.
Your response is to take a screen shot, edit it, host it, post it with a
rant. So.... if you take a screen of every post and just save it for
prosperity, like saving your wisdom for future generations then
you will not have this problem will you.

Just a thought.

Usually when I get that message I get down on my knees and pray to Jesus to let me post. Sometimes it doesn't work, so I pray again. Usually, by the third prayer, I am allowed to post.
