Hopefully I can get up to 30 activities quickly, 74 seconds is still painful for me 
You have made 49 posts now in total, so you just need to make a post after 09:40 UTC, Sept 30 and you will get 42 activity and a positing limit of 48 seconds.

Apparently the main link was modified so can't really tell how close the name is to this forum's name but apparently it's done quite well. You obviously were quite careful -and the continious login function this forum has make it suspicious when you are asked to login again-

Why does the rank matter? If you've managed to get 300 activity you probably aren't a spammer, and don't want to risk being banned.
Sometimes I edit a post only to spot an error and go back in and edit a second time. I was mostly just asking to figure out if "forum rank" tiers calculation is handled separately from the "post throttling" tiers calculation, and mostly only because it seemed strange that the tiers don't match up. ( and I notice that you didn't answer my question, but instead just made a mention of banning in a way which I felt was vaguely threatening and perhaps directed at me or something. not sure.)
You suggested that you needed the time between posts to go lower than 8 seconds, only a spammer would need it lower than 8 seconds... hence the mention of banning spammers.

No, I literally did not "suggest" any such thing. Non-literal "between the lines" isn't my style. When I said "that's cool I guess" I literally meant "cool" in the sense of "good". Please don't put words in my mouth.

I've adjusted the limits to make spamming more difficult.
| Activity | Min. seconds between post actions | Max PM recipients | PMs per hour |
| 0 | 360 | 3 | 5 |
| 16 | 74 | 5 | 30 |
| 30 | 60 | 5 | 60 |
| 60 | 30 | 5 | 60 |
| 100 | 12 | 10 | 120 |
| 200 | 10 | 15 | 120 |
| 300 | 8 | 20 | 120 |
so at 300+ posts (err, activity) the throttle doesn't get relaxed any further. That's cool I guess.
Those tier thresholds don't seem to match up to the current forum ranks though, is this intentional? Is it really different thresholds than the forum ranks which don't themselves seem to do anything other than add little stars under your name?
Just curious, because it seems as though I might (with my current activity level) be un-throttled, despite not being at the highest rank.

Wheb I used to trol digital point. The thing the skiddies used to do was make a legitimate looking website. They ranged from services to free wordpress themes. Most of the time it was some kind of fourm. In the case of DP they would posy threads saying. Hey I'll pay you a dollar if you sign up and make 10 posts.

Shouldn't this be its own post somewhere or did I miss it ?

Should we just delete or report unsolisticated and spammy private messages? Since I started posting to the forum a day ago, I've received two PM's from people I don't know advertising this btce-bot service. I've never posted to a thread related to btce-bot. 
Got it too.
Report them, they're phishers.
Just did, never remember to do that, thanks.

got this too but just ignored it-don't rember sender

I don't blame the forum either. I was the idiot in a hurry and quickly logged back in on the phishing site. But because the dirtscience account had no reputation anyway it was really no big deal. Just could have caused me some trouble with a seller here. Again my fault.
July 16, 2013, 10:52:33 AM
Make no mistake, I don't blame the forum...clearly, my password was weak. I blame the hacker, and myself for not securing my account better. I'm just saying if two form authentication became available, I'd turn it on immediately.
Also I'm not ashamed that a hacker hacked my shit. It was weak, and this site in particular is a hacker breeding ground, lesson learned. I really didn't expect anyone to try to steal my account for any reason...but clearly I should always assume that.

I strongly disagree. You have 2 factor authentications on all websites that are handling bitcoins and bitcoin-related assets. You have 2FA on your conventional bank websites too. Pretty much everywhere where it is critical.
This forum is falling into this category, there are large auctions going on, funding campains, many things for which trust and reputation are keys. What matters really is not the name of it, just a "forum" so you might think there's nothing critical, no what really matters is what is going on here. And this place remains a central one in the BTC world.
As for the money, I agree it's not free. There is as we speak more than 600BTC of donations made to the forum that are supposed to be used for improvements, but this amount is just standing useless at the moment. 1% of it would be enough for a 2FA. Money is not a problem.

6000BTC! 2FA could definitely be afforded by the forum.

One solution is to enable an optional 2 factors authentication:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/can-bitcointalkorg-get-2-factor-authentication-178568
Nowadays, any website that handles something serious proposes it. And this forum is definitely something of that level, it deserves it.

Yes...wholeheartedly agree 2 form authy!...it really sucks to attempt to build a rep, and log in to discover someone found a way to piss on it in your absence. In my case if you do any simple googling...you'll find I am connected to me in real life, so finding out a hacker used my account and posted all kinds of non-sense all over this forum was particularly unsettling...2 form would have probably worked pretty well even if he had gotten my weak password.
I imagine all that extra security doesn't come free. Would you be willing to pay extra for a forum membership just for that extra security? For all the guys in this thread there sure are a whole lot absent. No money ever goes solely through this site anyway, not like some exchange or anything...
I'd be more ashamed that I fell for the trap and that it was exposed for all to see on the net. Hopefully you learned your lesson. Blaming the forum is just wrong though.
