I keep getting this warning when I try to post. What does it mean, and how can I avoid it?

[–] Mustang (5520) 2 years ago

Post slower.

[–] HarveyManFredSin (4877) 2 years ago

Ah, okay. Thanks. I think that makes sense.

What's the window between posts?

[–] Mustang (5520) 2 years ago

I think when you are new it is really long. I can't recall how long it takes before you can post quicker though.

Ohhh now I know. I received that message too haha

IDK. Maybe it has to do with you being a new user & your posts are being moderated?

[–] HarveyManFredSin (4877) 2 years ago

But none of my posts are offensive.

This is a really frustrating and not terribly user-friendly system as far as 'moderation' goes.

[–] mtxmind (3296) 2 years ago

I think once you get to a certain number of posts you're automatically off moderation & your posts will show up right away.

That will go away, it happens to new posters.

Welcome aboard, have fun👍

Hey, do you remember me?

I used to post here a good few years ago (before I left, of my own volition, in a huff). I also remember howos.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 2 years ago

I don’t remember you.
Have fun here.

[–] HarveyManFredSin (4877) 2 years ago

"I don't remember you."

That's a shame. I remember you, Otter and howos, and a few others.

It appears my old posts are still here under my present username.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 2 years ago

Cool, see you around.

Even with 30,000 posts I will get that message if I make consecutive posts too fast.

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (12492) 2 years ago

Yes, me too. But I only get it if I immediately try to post a second time on the same thread.
