What is the purpose of this feature?
 

I am getting this message a lot lately. Today I sent notifications of two spam messages appearing on one of the forums and have to WAIT 30 seconds before I could post the 2nd notification. Inconvenienced for trying to help?

Thanks, I'll get that fixed.

Bob.. :)

It's still happening! :fcuk: I am reporting SPAM messages on the E60 forum :spam: and have to wait! :bash:

Why not just get rid of the feature altogether?

Hi,

I apologize as I assumed the the delay had been reduced as I had not received any additional reports since October. The purpose is to prevent a spammer from flooding the forum with posts. I'll check on Monday again to see if we can lower it, however, there will always be a delay of some sort to prevent bots from peppering the community with spam. I have removed as many as 152 spam posts on one community that turned the delay off. They were made within a 10 minute period. We do appreciate you heads up on the spam and I'll see what I can do to reduce your frustration. Thank you for letting me know!

I recently reported two spammers and the wait was 60 seconds. Not a big deal since I usually read one or two other posts in between seeing and reporting the other annoying posts.

I too have encountered the dreaded 60 second gap between posts, and it was also when reporting SPAM! B)

It's no big deal...just an annoyance when you're trying to do something good...

It's the Mods way of punishing those who try to brag about their speed typing skills :rolleyes:

LOL, "Wow you type fast!!!! Are you part Cheetah/Stenographer?" :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

It's baaaaaaaaack!
 

This is starting to happen again, A LOT!

Whatever fix you put in last time would be appreciated. Thanks! :):)
