How many posts is too many?

Newer members often state that they think their question is too basic, or stupid, or whatever, to be posted. Nothing could be further further from the truth in any section at DSLRUsers.com, but especially here. Don't feel intimidated. The only stupid question is the one that remains unasked. We were all beginners at one stage, and even the most experienced amongst us will admit to learning new stuff on a daily basis. Ask away! Please also refer to the forum rules and the portal page

How many posts is too many?

Postby BullcreekBob on Sat Mar 11, 2006 12:32 pm

G'day

I submitted a post to another forum then noticed a typo, so I tried to edit it, when doing so I got the message:

"DSLR Users.net Forum Index
Information

You cannot make another post so soon after your last; please try again in a short while. "

What are the restrictions? I don't normally have problems caused by my fast typing speed.

Cheers

It's not about the post count, but rather the time between each post and each edit of a post you perform.

Take around 15 seconds to 30 seconds between each post and each edit and you'll be right.

Basically, it's to stop flooding, and we have had people in the past try to artificially raise their post count by flooding various topics.

It's an anti-flood restriction.

Wait 60 seconds and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the info folks - it seems a sensible restriction.

I shall just learn not to be so quick in noticing typo's in my posts, or learn not to be embaressed, or learn to type and spel writely
