5 second rule

[iansl]

Sometimes I make multiple poasts about the same time because they're short yet consice and everything. But it doesn't let me poast until 5 seconds after another poast of mine has poasted. Kindof annoying. I know, it's to prevent spam, but maybe there could be a character filter or something for these things (that might rule out Travis's smilies...)

The delay between poasts is likely for bandwidth control. I have never noticed the delay myself.

I thought you were talking about the real five second rule... ;D

[Wade777]

^_^ why do you need to be poasting 2 things in 5 seconds in the first place?

[Nestor]

yeah, man.... why?

[iansl]

Sometimes I have a poast all typed out, and I'm offline. Then I have another one typed out, and when I get online, I click post really quick, then go to the other one and click post and there you go.

Sometimes I have half a thought, and feel I should poast it.  Or something.  So I do.  And then, 5 or 10 seconds or a day or so later I look at it and think, "Huh.  That's nothing."  And, usually leave it alone.

I think if your foot's in the lane, you can get called for 5 seconds.  Or "over and back."  

Ace; or travelling.  Once, I found I passed out on my keyboard. I got called for a double dribble.  It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.

Here's how to solve your problem:
1) Downgrade your internet to dialup
2) Buy a used 28.8 modem from eBay

You won't notice the 5 second wait ever again.

Yeah, but when you connect at 31.2 kbs like I do, time flies.

[Igloo]

31.2kbps :o *faints*

[Ace]

I know.  And people don't think I'm up with the technology.   ::)

Hey, check that out.  I just clicked a smiley!  I tell ya, pretty soon I'm going to be as technologically savvy as Dude, thanks to the help of the people here.  

And, someday, I'll be mentally realigned thanks to the help of the staff at some institution.   :D

Chandler, as for the first thing, I am on dialup. As for the second, I connect at anywhere from 28.8 kbps to 41.2 kbps. Right now I'm at 40.
