WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted March 22, 2004 what do you think of flood control? I think it should go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 22, 2004 It won't be removed. It's there to prevent someone from flooding the board with a post every second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odo 0 Posted March 22, 2004 I voted it is nessary for such board. That is growing larger every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 8 Posted March 22, 2004 Absolutely it is necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace 0 Posted March 22, 2004 In the Promotions and New Members forums, it can get on my nerves just a little. However, especially in the Games forum, I feel the Flood Control feature is absolutely necessary for a board this size. I'm personally against post-padding to begin with, but on a board without Flood Control, some people would go post-crazy! (not necessarily anyone here, though) That's all just my opinion, of course. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemesis 0 Posted March 22, 2004 Why would you care? It's just something you get used to shrug and move on. Makes you stall for a while and re-read your posts too, well I do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Shirt Volunteer 0 Posted March 22, 2004 I think it's cool. It stops spammers from, umm, spamming. This is going to sound crass, but I'll say it anyway - you have to wonder whether a post that falls within the flood control limits is even worth writing, don't you? If people check their spelling and put down well thought out responses, flood control doesn't even come into play. And why would anyone be so hot to get that many posts on the board anyway?

Captain Bolivar 0 Posted March 22, 2004 It annoys me at times but I understand that it is necessary. Once I decided to head to the new members and crew promotions sections to give people my congratulations but I had to wait between each one (I decided to do it all at once to save time) and discovered the flood control. So I stopped and I rarely gives such congrats any more. It would be nice if in those sections it could be turned off... and/or allow people to most immediately only if they are posting under a new topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DixonHill1989 0 Posted April 12, 2004 It is necessary for such a big board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TransporterMalfunction 1 Posted April 12, 2004 Although it can be annoying for members I voted "It is necessary for such a big board" as it keeps everything running smoothly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted April 13, 2004 It can be very annoying at times, but it is an necessary evil. It keeps the board from crashing and that is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
