Lower the floodcheck length {atleast for new users}
It's annoying how we have to wait 10 DARN MINUTES between posts.
Hey, I'm trying to be more active.

Re: Lower the floodcheck length {atleast for new users}
The reason New Scratchers have to wait longer is so that commercial spammers (though I haven't seen any- the Mods do a great job 
) can't spam a lot. There are other reasons too- I just can't think of them right now.

Actually, the reason was because of a spam attack back in June, and they had to put in these new member restrictions to stop it.
And yes, 10 minutes is a lot to wait, but when you become a Scratcher, it'll be shortened to just 60 seconds. Since you joined in August, you should be upgraded in not too long.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

SPAM TIME!
Lol, Im JKing. This is so that we dont get flooded (and hopefully we wont ever get Denial-Of-Serviced) by spammers.
Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

Hi WhatThe3321 as others have said it is to stop spamming and it looks like you have been here for a while. With that said if you continue to follow the Terms of Use and be a helpful member. You'll be a Scratcher in no time.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

10 minutes does seem a little long - maybe it's time we re-visited this.
Perhaps something like 3-5 minutes?
