You cannot make another post so soon after your last

C'mon, Sensei, I think you're pushing your limit.

Nah, jus' one mor' post ... jus' one mor' an' then I'll log off fer th'night.

Yeah, man, I gotta do one more, just one more, I'm cool, I can quit after any sentence, you know - but c'mon, just a small post, ok? Not even a sentence, just a phrase and an emoticon or two, just to get me through the night - yeah, I'm attending the PAA meetings (Posting Addicts Anonymous), but c'mon, just a little post - a smiley. All I need's a smiley - or two - or the dancing banana - yeah, just the dancing banana and I'll log off -- I promise....

Heh ... serves you right for sprinkling pixie dust on my laptop keyboard ... Sensei continues to wave sparkly light dots away from around his head.

I was going to start a thread about this but it seems one has already started. I am also annoyed with the time delay, even more annoyed that I can't edit my OWN POSTS! I'm not double posting, just editing an existing post which irks me because if I misspelled a word or two I have to let it sit there and have people look at it untill I can fix it.

On another note I think the delay is too long, I can post, then find another thread, read through the thread and want to post another comment but have to wait. I think that's too long, if someone is abusing the rules just warn them, don't change the whole system for a couple nits. At least that's my policy.

What is stopping you?

Waiting to edit a post kinda bugs me too.

Is there any way to disable just that?

I was going to add something - but it's hot here and that lovely picture of chilled,fruit-topped cheesecake just burned out a posting synapse. Guess I'll just sit here and drool for a little while....

Perhaps I'm not remembering correctly, but I think I remember reading somewhere here that this is just a glitch on the .net site and that it will disappear once we are up and running on .com again. So it's a temporary thing, and we shall be rewarded for our patience once beta.com has been restored to its rightful place in the universe. (or something like that!

)

Once more? You seem uncertain. I am surprised to hear that you are not remembering correctly but I think I remember reading somewhere here that this is just a glitch on the dot net site and that it will disappear once we are up and running on dot com.

Shell-bell, Magician implemented the time out to prevent people from double posting.

I think two minutes is still too long

Maybe 1 minute? or 90 seconds?

I like to open several threads and prep my comments, then post them all
at once, rapid fire style. Sometimes I prefer doing that because it feels
like I've spent an appropriate amount of time proof-reading my posts. But
I can't do that when there's a time limit between posts.

I think he should make it 3 hours and 42 minutes, 17 seconds before Cloud can make a second post....

I'm with ya on the Cloud recommendation... he seems to be stalking my comments lately!

And I don't know where I came up with the "temporary .net glitch" hypothesis, toni! haha! Maybe wishful thinking!!

I have been oh-so-patient with it because I just kept thinking, "if I hold on until we go back to .com, alllll will be well!" hee! Now I'm just irked cuz I HATE that "can't post again yet" thingy too!!!! I have to correct typos and phrasing a lot, and the delay bugs me. A Lot. (See... now you guys made me a grouch! I was happy with my little rose-colored glasses on!

)

So add me to the list of "pleeeease, Magician... can we cut the time back on the double-posty thingy? Pretty please with sugar on top??" *begbegbeg*

Cloud · Post by **Cloud** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 3:21 pm

Why now? Only just? I am glad we have something (irked cuz he or she HATE that can not post again yet thingy) in common, weird no comments.
