I just can't take it when i write a long comment and it says,  "you have posted a similar message recently". Please get rid of it, i don't see the point of it. i find it really hard to post comments that are small, like  smile  or  big_smile  because i've used them recently. then i put what i want, because it won't let me. Please fix this, i'm not the only one who's had trouble with it.

I think that sometimes the problem with longer comments is that they may contain the same link...
It may be annoying but it prevents spam. It's annoying but necessary just like the 60/360 rules.  smile

Re: Similar messages

The filter that blocks you from posting similar comments within a certain amount of time is to cut down on spam posts. Why not try to vary your posts and add a little more to them?

What I will do when I write a long comment is copy the message before I post it and if it says that I posted a very similar message recently, I paste it and change some stuff in it so that it can be posted.
