please don't make it 20second

normally i will finish reading in 5-10s sometimes even faster
due to no result being found

than i have to go to cari waste 1~2 minutes before come back

the flood control is to prevent unwanted SPAM.

well ts does noe that. hes just asking for a shorter period. maybe 5 or 10 seconds. somehow i agree

yeah.. do less spamming

i've not come by wanted SPAM either.

the flood control is here for a purpose. now think about the # of users on the system.

if you're just thinking about yourself, then yeah it's too long.

but if you put the consideration that there's # amount people on the board, then the fact is that flood control IS generous already.

sure, i'm sure you guys will be full of complaints. LYN could always reduce the flood control period. then server load will be higher, everything process slower............. so yeah, another complaint will come.

more over
longer time ensure you think things over

instead of just blurt/running your thoughts

Wait a min, why is it that you'll have to waste 1-2 mins when the interval required is 20 secs?

you, my man, deserve some applause, for the simple fact that you have a brain and can think rational and coherent thoughts.

Hang on guys, I think he's talking about the search function.

Wats the difference?

Uh my post got deleted?

flood control only applies to posting a new post/reply, it doesn't affect reading. i would be suprised if you are able to post something, jump to another thread and read through it and post again within 20 seconds. Unless you're spamming the forums with unwanted posts OR you're replying to your own replies in the forums.

And IF this is in relation to the search feature, then no, there will be a 20 second delay in between searches to avoid abuse of the search function.

he meant the flood control for searching isn't it?

i also kinda agree that the time is kinda too long 5-10secs will be better

i think ur right. If its about search function, i dont mind it being shorter than 20 secs, faster searching. But i dont mind the current either....20 secs aint much of a time..

wait. search got time limit one meh.

<= noob.

here i was, thinking that wasnt the anti post flood limit 15 seconds?

I've just tested with dummy search "fefiehief" and found no result..
Then i do a real search and it works...

So what do u mean?

when search no result
then there will be no flood control

so if 1st time he search for abit...
he got results

afterthat within 20 secs
he wanna search for asus pulaks
then he need to wait until the search control is over

hope i am correct here

search as in , when u search a guys profile for the posts he made, n then search for the topics he created, there is a time limit of 20 secs. meaning, after searching once, need to wait a little while. no biggie IMO.

It is the search function. I don't like the 20 second timer either.

Anyway I'm not complaining, some forums have a 120second timer. :S

please think of the server. you want to wait for 20sec or the "Server is too busy to handle your request" message?

otherwise use google instead if need fast response and dont mind plenty of search result
search by this method...
