but can you please consider dropping the flood count from 60 seconds to about 45 or 50 seconds?? it would make my life so much easier. either that or make me a moderator over at the VG forum. [Thumbs Up]

and then it can stay at 60 seconds for all i care.

I was thinking 30 seconds and just have the mods just be more strict if people are flooding on purpose to be [jerks].

Note, I got a flood warning on this very post after 50 seconds

Are those 10 seconds really so critical? Eh, maybe I'll change it if I'm in the mood. With flood control pretty much standard everywhere nowadays, you don't get many people trying to flood anymore.

Actually 15 seconds would be a huge difference. It'd probably cut 90% of the non-flooding, flooding.

Yes, but with the quick reply feature I actually think you should increase the flood control timing.

I mean, it is afterall to stop flooding. I'm not accusing you guys of flooding either. But, i'm sure others would take advantage of it, although like Mandard said, we dont get flooded very often...

With this quick reply, you only have to go through two pages now, instead of the old three. Therefore you've already cut down a few seconds of time. So you guys, in essence are posting faster than you used to.

So, if anything, I think the control should be raised. But, then again, it's also fine where it is. Give you time to proof read or something like that!

Yeah, that was it. No big deal. [Smile]

Oh yeah, I got bored and changed flood control to 45 seconds. I don't like giving up my stubborness (and 60 seconds is such a nice, round number [Frown]

) but if people insist that 45 seconds will make such a huge difference, then so be it.
