dampachi!

Is there a way this could be disable for advanced members? |

I realise that having newbies come in and spam is a pretty serious problem for an administrator |

It's not only newbies spamming, jayson has a problem with 1 line postsand hes not a newbie at all. he joined the month this board was brought up. I do realise that it is annoying having to wait 30 seconds for you to be able to post again but the flood control is there to protect this board and keep it from | ||

Each day there are atleast a hundred posts to topics. Its not your duty to make sure each and every topic has a post by you. Just please dont go all out with 100 posts per day. last i checked you were already at 16.4 posts per day. And there will always be topics to reply to and its impossible to reply to each one. |

I bet you were posting topics on the admin/moderator board over the weekend saying "thank god that S15-guy shut up, maybe he is dead!" |
