tripsis Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 100 posts seems a little low for changing the flood limit. A smart spammer could make a hundred useless posts quick and then go on a rampage.If someone made ~100 useless posts, we'd be onto them before they finished :P We probably won't be making changes to the flood limit anyway. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_odie Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Where's my +? :sad:GET BACK TO WORK YOU! :P I have wanted to see this implemented for some time now. Would be great to give the users a little more freedom, while yet limiting potential spam bots. The posting limit now is fine for someone new on the forums. Us who now frequent 5+ broads hate when we get throttled by the post limiter. :( RIP MichaelangelopolousThanks to cowboy14 for the pimp sig!

I understand you made a massive typo! :P ) Back on-topic... Since there are concerns about things like the flood limiter, group changes after a certain post count, and all that stuff, might I suggest upping the requirement to go from "Members" into "Members+" to 250 posts or more? It would still blockade spambots, but would alleviate concerns about some spambot slipping far enough through to take advantage of the decreased flood limit timer. :idea: ~D. V.

Mirror Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I didn't even notice until someone brought it to my attention. I don't look on the side. I just read the posts. o_O Oh well, have fun trying out stuff if that's what you want to do!

Kimberly Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 If you see an italicised name at the bottom of the post, it's usually because they're in the middle of making a post. You can hover over their name and it will tell you what the board thinks they're doing. This is unrelated to the Members+, but I hope this clears it up for you!

Gandorf61 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Seeing as this is related, how come at the bottom of pages, some members names are italicised? Do you mean where it shows the active users? If so italicized names just means they are writing a post at the moment. edit Just realized I missed a whole page of people who already posted the answer. >.< Pyramid Plunder Guide Tip.it Forum Rules Adventurer's LogThanks to Cowboy14 for the awesome sig!
