Honestly, I don't know what the timer is set to but I was having one hell of a time making a revision to one of my posts. This isn't hurting people who come in here to spam random crap, it's hurting us. I mean, how often do we get spam? Every once in a while? It's easy to do just a few button presses and do away with the offenders. Increasing the time between our posting is like punishing everyone for what one or two people did.

Can you change it or do you have to talk to a higher-up?

Well we were hit by some asshats from some chan and a couple boards were loaded with spam. It seems like the timer is a lot longer now.

Asshats... Heh... Awesome image...

But, yeah, I'm slightly irked about it. It doesn't make me want to go on a killing spree, though, so I'd say it's not TOO big of a deal. At least, not to me.

The fact is, it doesn't affect the people that come in and do it the way it affects the community. We're the ones left to deal with it when they're gone.

What boards were hit, and when. I did not even notice them. You must have been a busy mod.

Comic and FAQ had a bunch of spam in them and there was one thread in the gaming board.

It bothers me most when I wanna edit, cause I'll occasionally forget to put something in a post that makes it all make sense, I'll go to edit it.
Not yet. Gotta wait.
