Effective Immediately we are changing the system from the default of 30 seconds between posts to a new variable scale.

Your minimum posting interval will depend on your Average Daily Posts. You can see your average daily post value by viewing your profile. Depending on that value, the system will allow you to post once every time block. So if you average less than 5 posts per day (as most do) you can still post up to once every 30 seconds. The list is as follows

If your daily average is...
Less than 3 posts/day - You can post once every 15 seconds
Less than 5 posts/day - You can post once every 30 seconds
Less that 10 posts/day - You can post once every 60 seconds
Less than 15 posts/day - You can post once every 2 minutes
Less than 20 posts/day - You can post once every 5 minutes
Less than 30 posts/day - You can post once every 10 minutes
Less than 40 posts/day - You can post once every 20 minutes
Greater than or Equal to 40 posts/day - You can post only once every 40 minutes

It is our goal to cut down on the recent onslaught of filler posts that seem to be cropping up in most every thread.

Keep in mind your daily average is calculated by taking your total posts and dividing it by the number of days that have passed from your join date (the day you registered for the board). So unless you are new it will take lots of posts to move this number very much.

I've just stumbled across this change and it seems very effective. A nice touch for the forum but I wonder how it will be received by some of the real post junkies....

 

If it takes less than a minute to write, it's probably not worth saying.

 

Excellent! My compliments on an innovative and effective solution.

 

I like this feature (believe it or not) it's a good compromise.

 

Great idea!

 

Non-solution to a non-problem, I think. (10 sec. -- worth saying)

 

Great idea krazik. I hope this cuts down on some of the runaway postings.

 

No, but you only post about 5 times a day, so only need to wait 15 sec. for your next post. You would not be considered an abuser. An abuser is someone who posts 40 times per day, he/she will need to wait 20 minutes for thier next post. That will reduce that person' s post rate. The penalty is not harsh for "normal posters" but will fix the abusers.

That is all Krazik (Krazy K ) is trying to do, he cannot fix content...well maybe edit it .

 

Excellent. This will improve the readability of the board, IMHO.
