OK, so McGruff must have changed some settings or something, but I keep on tripping over these "you cannot post so soon after!" messages. It's getting quite annoying actually (I like submitting a post, looking at it, then editing it if something else occurs to me. Also, rapid-fire posting for stock questions is hard with it). Could we try setting it back to a more sane level? Or could you make me mod? After all... I have been around here for quite a bit.
Ah well, not sure if this is the right forum.

Just to explain, on Saturday/Sunday the site was basically under attack. I was getting spam emails in my personal accounts, a deluge of bogus registrations (which led me to block all new registrations for the time being, genuine or not), theft of copyright material, attempts to interfere with the server, and a multitude of vituperative posts on the forums. The post interval was increased as a precaution in case there were further attacks by automated agents.
You never used to confuse cause and effect, McGruff. Shame, that you've taken up that habit.McGruff wrote:Just to explain, on Saturday/Sunday the site was basically under attack.
