60 second posts and search mode

[Dousan_PG]

ack just small beef w/ this.
you cant post for 60 seconds after first post. its good i know because no double pots. but cant reply another thread fast either. i type and then get "have to wait 60 seconds" hit back and what i typed is gone. anywyas, can it be cut down to 30 seconds?

also with the search mode, same thing, can the time be cut down in 1/2?

thanks

Just quit post whorin ;)

JK. Its never been a problem that ive seen, I will change the post count to 45 if I can (dont remember seeing that option), Search one can stay at 30 since the majority of floods come from search type attacks.

haha
i type fast and i sometimes type 2 replies to two different threads at once (go back and forth)

anyways, no problem if you can. i have to remember to copy a reply before posting. :) thanks!

i also dont like how you cant go back and edit past posts (after a certain time frame) :mad:

yeah.. not being able to edit replies after 180 min is the suck.

12hrs is reasonable for an edit time limit, but 180min is way too short IMO. If ppl use edit to con their way out of ****...just ban them :)

Search is nice at 30sec :cool:

West, its in the main vB options under 'floodchecking options'
30sec is reasonable, 60sec is a little too long for fast typers with broadband. I should know...was just owned by it :p

Damn the never ending trade off between functionality and security :rolleyes:

I agree that the 60 seconds between posts is too long, I go into zilvia and open a new window for each thread that interests me, and sometimes I'll type a response to one, click the next window, and read the next thread quickly and type a response, and it deletes my response. If its going to make me wait, couldn't it at least keep what I type there so I can just wait 60 seconds and post it again?

also, the search thing is a little annoying, especially when I search for something and it says "no matches" and so you go right back and try and search again but have to wait. I can't see having it make you wait when it didn't even find anything.

finally, I wish the edit thing was shorter, cause people post stuff, and someone else will post a reply, and then someone will edit their original post, making the replies no longer make sense.
