359 seconds would be far more reasonable.
In all seriousness I do agree. I don't see how the current limitations stop anything

It makes it harder for people to scam others. If these limitations werent there a person could easily scam, where as now s/he has to spend a few hours.

Couldn't they put up some guidelines that are only visible by Newbies? Like all the other Forums areas have a 'RESTRICTED tag on them. I've seen it on other forums. It should make the Newbie section easier to find.

I was mostly annoyed by the time limit on the search function. (search for something, can't find it. oh wait let me try this...=> Please wait 90 seconds) I understand why it is necessary, just wonder if there isn't a better way.

It's really annoying but understandable with all the attacks they recieve. Another big annoyance is how often the site go's down even with all the precautions.

Guess hackers/spammers just don't let up Roll Eyes

I'm not sure my first post even made it, and I still got the 360 second wait. Sad

The rules that we cannot post under 6 minutes is really annoying. I'm an university student and I only have access to WIFI internet. And for some reason another people on the campus is also posting right here on this forum. So pretty much the only time I can post here is during the night.

Same thing for me when I am at my University. It's for the SPAM.

yeah, I just registered, but I really wonder what happened here in the past for the mods to come up with these restrictions.

But hey, it's their house so live by their rules. I manage a forum myself, so I know how hard it can be sometimes.

The hardest part for me is that you can't post in any of the interesting topics, because you have to get a certain level of posts before being allowed to do so. Thus creating a climate where I need to spam for a while prior to participating in the discussions that really intrest me :p

How to make a first post was the most annoying thing. I had to find it in google

how did a suspicious link turn up in my post?
i just wrote the name of this site without it even being a link, do they consider themselves suspicious?

i'm subscribed to no less than 10 different forums
this is by far the worst when it comes to all the rules and regulations
the 6 minute waiting period is also very annoying
and no it doesn't stop spam
because spammers can also wait 6 minutes

It might not stop them, but it at least slows them down / makes things difficult. It's more to stop ddos attacks.

then why does this forum get attacked so often?
seems like if you are unable to ddos a site people simply choose a different attack method
anyways, i think [Suspicious link removed]hould allow accounts without password as the password gets revealed to the hackers anyways

It's not foolproof; just a precautionary measure.

in defi we trust

In my opinion it will take far more than 360 from the last submitted message to open a new thread, read the content , write a full response , not +1 or

and hit the post button again.
It's also made to prevent useless posts.

No, the biggest annoyance is how we treat each other, even though we are all part of a leading edge smart community. But I guess it comes with the territory of geeks tending to be bad at socializing. Nearly all employees complain about their IT person lacking social skills but they are just jealous that we know how to do stuff. ;-)
