I’ve never seen this before so I’m curious if this is new. I’m getting a Flood Control error when going to post. It says I need to wait 600 seconds in between posts? That’s 10 minutes… Seems VERY long to me.

I was recently banned for 2 days from the forums. Is this a penalty because of that? Or is this a forum bug I am getting?

It is one of the disciplinary actions resulting from inappropriate behavior on the forums.
It’s not fun. I have 60-second Flood Control from just one infraction point.

Supposedly, the points will wear off, eventually.

Oh dear lord…. I hope this wears off soon or I might have to retire from the forums for a while. 10 minutes is brutal.

Pretty sure they don’t wear off ‘soon’. Sorry.

It’s about a 30 day punishment for 60 seconds… I’m not sure how they stack together, though, so you probably have 5 infraction points, depending on when you received them, they each have their own expiration date. Although it is possible sometimes it is permanent.

I recommend just relaxing a bit, reading more and talking less. When I had my crazy FC it took about 30 days to get back to normal. Now I’m a prim and proper poster, or I try to be. (bad Lilith! Bad!)

Did you know that there are some people on this forum who get multiple infraction points just for saying they have flood control?

Consider yourself lucky not to be part of those people … for now.
