bvw Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Flood control won't allow mass mailings to the forum, or something like that. Your IP address is logged and multiple posts from the same address are restricted to every 30 seconds or so. No doubt Craig will have the educated answer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 A fairly short program can be written that posts a message and deletes it, posts a message and deletes it [....] for a set number of times. I've seen that in action (fortunately it wasn't harmful nor intended to be) so that's why you have to wait 30 (?) seconds or so between threads & messages to try and keep it down.
