the waiting time between posts

Posted on Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:42 pm

IS F*CKING ANNOYING!

so i post something, then i review my post and think: oh, i got a lot of typo's or i messed up an item or a value. quickfix.

but no, you got to wait like 20 seconds which is really pissing me off.

why is there that waiting time anyway?

Yeah this has happened to me also, it's really annoying that you see you have a mistake and you have to wait to edit it!!

Same question: Why is there that waiting time anyway?

It helps stop accidental double posts. And is a slight barrier to someone trying to artificially inflate their post count.

It is to prevent the double post via network interruption as well as to counter spammers!

EDIT: Guy above gave the reasons at the same time as I..

well, there are other systems for that...

i have another forum where if you post a message, then post one right after that one

it says:

you posted this already

but you can make modifications right after it..
