Why not shorter...

It's strange that on wc3campaigns we can post only once every 10 minutes. Dunno why it's like this? Sometimes I see some questions that I can answer or I have a question immediately after an answer, but I can't post 'cause of the 10-minute limit. If it's used against spam I have no negation (and I don't have the right ^_^), but what about shorten the limit, for example 100 seconds?

[BTW: When I posted this post I again received a "Please try again in 125 seconds" Note -_- and while I'm waiting I decided to put up a poll ^_^]

Strange, I never had it. I am sure I can post well within the 10 minute limit, maybe its cause I have a lot of rep/posts?

That's interesting indeed.
I think rep may impact it, since I've posted dozens of help or response posts within 10 minutes and have not once had the system yell at me.

If i remember correctly, it's post count. If you have under X posts, you can only post once every 10 minutes, once you get over that, it drops down to once every 30 seconds.

I may be wrong, but i believe its 100 posts.

nope, it is registration date, after some time the limit will become 1 minute for you Wyvernoid.

For security reasons new users cannot make a lot of posts too often, we used to be target of a group of spammers and this was a measure we took to give the mods a little advantage if it happened again.

So just take your 10 new minutes to surf the web, take a meal, do homework , listen to music or whatever.

I don't think it is a good idea to post details on the exact account age that lowers the limit.

Sorry, I didn't know that it was like this... No worry, you know I'm not a spammer, and my post count is reaching 100 soon ^_^ Close this thread please Vexorian if neccesary, my fault.
