Title: Posting Limit
Post by: Minister Polarius on April 27, 2010, 04:01:05 PM
@ Admins. Could we lower the time limit between posts to like 15 or 10 seconds? That would still stop auto-spam, but I frequently get the "wait 30 seconds" message, and the 30 seconds resets every time you try to send within the 30 second window. I can read a post, type a good response and post it within 10 seconds (especially on the ruling thread), and it's super super frustrating to run into a spam gate when I'm not spamming. I'm glad the spam gate is there, but it's too big.

I agree as well. Also, since posts and PM's both count as "posts" for the limit, I often run into trouble when I PM a short response to someone, then try to post on a topic with a quick comment.

Ah! Yes, I can't believe I forgot to mention that. That's what got me riled in the first place.

Yes, this is very, very annoying. If this was the only thing changed, I would be happy.

(Waits 30 seconds...)Very +1 for people who type quickly this can be a very big bother.

Exactly. I agree. Especially PMs.
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: Red on April 27, 2010, 04:50:18 PM
well i think we need a double post emanater that combins them with the first post of a double or triple post.

Post by: Rawrlolsauce! on April 27, 2010, 04:52:58 PM
I only type 48 words per hour, so that isn't a huge problem to me.

(I support. I end up looking at that message more than I browse the boards)

I also agree that it is frustrating. The other scenario that I run into is when I PM a trade offer to someone, then try to post "PM sent" in their trade thread. The Gustapo gets me every time.

I just hum the Final Jeopardy tune between all my posts and PMs.
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on April 27, 2010, 09:17:36 PM
I agree as well. I pretty much live by multiple tabs, and so I'll quickly respond to multiple threads / PM's at once, only to be told I can't.

now to increase my post count,

Each day I can now post 5760 posts.  This is much more realistic than 2880.   but what ever its not like i have had 150 posts over the past 3 years,  .051 posts per day
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: D-man on April 28, 2010, 04:20:33 PM
Agreed.  Now that the posting limit is down, I'll start spamming...
Title: Re: Posting Limit

...constantly. ;)
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: YourMathTeacher on April 28, 2010, 04:22:15 PM
With the new 15-second time lapse also comes a 15-post limit per day. Sorry guys.
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: D-man on April 28, 2010, 04:24:00 PM
Well my spamming plan is backfiring big-time.
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: D-man on April 28, 2010, 04:24:24 PM
But I'll make sure to hit the 15-post limit every day. ;)

Eh.... I liked Colin but he could be known to spam at times. Not like posting "this thread is provocative" in every thread kind of spam, but he definitely got off topic in a lot of NOT off-topic threads.  ;)

Truth be told, no one on this board that wasn't a troll before or existed back with the old trolls on the EZboards has no idea what true spam, trolling and, other post based art forms were. :( You speak of respecting the art, but you are desecrating it.
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on April 30, 2010, 08:11:35 PM
Ah yes... The EZBoards.... You can still access the ruling section of it :) Even there the spam threatens to overtake all :)
Title: Re: Posting Limit

Yup, the good ol' days back when trolling was indeed art.

Does the fifteen post limit a day apply to PMs? 
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: Warrior_Monk on April 30, 2010, 10:59:29 PM
Colin was a troll, not a spammer.

sadly, I don't remember much of the EZBoards. I just remember my hit of reality from those days. New York Nationals. good times...good times...

I do remember "Gotcranberries?" Happy Birthday to him...

Just send a PM to Schaef telling him that you've hosted a tourney.

if you've hosted a tournament, PM Schaef and have him tag it on.

instaposted
Title: Re: Posting Limit

If hosted a tournament you have, pm Schaef you must.

I didn't instapost, I just wanted to be part of this moment.

Oh I see. Just because he uses white deck sleeves he must be bad? What if they were black deck sleeves? Would that make it any better? Huh, racist!?
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: Rawrlolsauce! on May 01, 2010, 01:00:04 AM
I should switch over to black sleeves. So when I play Ring Wraith I can "accidentally" mix cards and take his FSP.

(Yeah, I run FSP in my characterless deck. What now, son?)

Hopefully with the easing of this restriction will come stricter enforcement of anti-spam policies.

hate to break it to you, but Saducees aren't a race. Philistine's are, so I guess I am slightly racist...
Title: Re: Posting Limit
Post by: D-man on May 03, 2010, 02:22:44 PM
I don't think the Philistines were a unique ethnic group as much as a political entity, so you're probably not even that.

actually, it's not, since only 5(?) black characters are greek. so I'm a LOT less racist.

I've PMed him about the Storehouse a few times as well. I know that Schaef does not have all the time in the world, and has a few more important things to do than go through PMs, but this is still kind of annoying...
