Togo Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 can we get this turned off - perhaps on a trial basis - it's not like we have 20K members - we have 165 - and about 20 who actually post stuff - i don't think the 20 of us will bring the board down if flood control were disabled - would we?

You can't wait a few seconds between posts? Flood control is a non issue.This thread seems ripe for a hijacking... hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Let's ask the people of New Orleans if we should disable flood control? Sorry! It was just too timely, I couldn't resist! I'm at work or I'd have had a pic to go with that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togo Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 hijack away - i was just curious - i mean really - with 20 people posting, how "flooded" can this board really get.and at any one time, there are 5 of us on never more than 10 that i have seen!and that boat might be a bit excessive - you could always use one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3,503 lbs of trouble Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I don't think it's us Bryan is worried about. Some spamer or troll could join and go ape s**t, and he'd have to deal with the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some spamer or troll could join and go ape s**t, and he'd have to deal with the mess. you keep believing that! it's not that hard to "deal with" from what i remember - if someone comes in and F%*#s the forum up with spam posts, as an admin, i believe he can sort by the users ID and delete all posts associated with that ID - i never actually had to do it on my board, but i think that's how it is done!

Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have to agree with Chris. flood control does annoy me. But I usually get up pick my nose a bit, and then come back tothe puter and HOPE I was gone 30 seconds. somedays I want to post away and I forget my thought between the 30 second Flood control and then I don't end up posting what i wanted because I forgot it. I understand why its there though, so Im not going to make any waves......But dang it, it is so hard being short on short-term memory cells! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't delete by user. And if a "bot" wants to spam us it will.Flood control is set low enought that it shouldn't be a problem.Sit back, relax and drink some decaff.Continue with the hijacking.

Need-a-Vette Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I usually get up pick my nose a bit, and then come back tothe puter and HOPE I was gone 30 seconds.Isn't that inconvenient. I usually have to get up and clean up the kitchen, anyhow:http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread...24&page=1&pp=20Glenn ended up thinking it was pretty funny. Sure... he didn't have to clean it up.Anyhow, if it's a safeguard probably should keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
