Topic: Search is throttled for newbies? (Read 429 times)
It is probably set up that to discourage spam and denial of service attacks.
Well, you can try Google searches with site:bitcointalk.org added to the search query.
Doh! I should have thought of that.
I find this gives better results anyway vs SMF's search

I just do whatever here to procrastinate while studying. (regarding the 4 hour limit)
I noticed that also.
I've just been doing google searches referencing bitcointalk and it's working out ok.

It does scale with account level, but I'm not sure exactly how.
Well.....that sucks. How am I supposed to spend 4 hours reading forum material if the forum is configured to deny me access to the topics I wish to read about?
Maybe I'll just try to get myself into arguments with moderators in the newbie subforum to occupy my attention. 1 hour to go.

I just tried performing a couple of searches on the forums. One reason for this is to find information (!!) and the other is to find interesting things to read to get my 4 hours. However, the forum rejected my second search, stating that my IP has previously posted in fewer than 360 seconds. Is this the intended behavior? Am I really only allowed to search once every 6 minutes??
