What the shortest elapsed time between a spam posting and a lock by the mods?

The mods are programmed to lock threads in time intervals of 42 seconds.

I've seen deletes in under 20 seconds...
in fact, a few of my threads

it's easy when they're already logged in (unlike now)

No, this was a real question. Some of the egregious Hot Deal posts seem to linger a bit longer that I expected.

I'm guessing the average is more like 4 hours. Probably depends whether it is during working hours or at night.

The length of time a post is permitted to exist is inversely proportional to the number of people who bitch about it. :p

Yup. Off Topic tends to be the only one that gets nailed within minutes.

So is video... Its no mans land.....

i think ever since the covert nvidia agents began posing as members promoting nvidia, and the flamefests started to mount, the mods have kept tighter reigns on that region of the world
