A javascript box just popped up saying that posting is limited to once every 15 seconds...how long has this been active ?

Prevents people from accidentally double-posting?

Doesn't seem to work though.

maybe it's to keep the forum software from double/triple posting your messages.

I haven't tested it here, and I'm not going to, but it's usually intended to stop flooding. Some forum software will post a message every time you click the 'Reply to Topic' button. So, a person could click the left mouse button as fast as she/he can on the 'reply to topic' button and generate many copies of the same post.

I have tested it on other forums and gotten as many as 40 of the same post at one time. The time limit before another post is meant to prevent this.

Why don't people ever search forum issues? There was a major Fuse Talk upgrade. Where do you think the ... FORUM ... ISSUES ... get posted?

It was 30 seconds until I started a thread about it. It doesn't seem to completely fix the problem.

I thought this was the Forum Bitch and Moan area?

Hell, I think they should make it so you can only post once every 15 MINUTES. Cut down on all the post whoring. :evil:
