20 secs is reasonable.

I believe the admins came to this figure after monitoring the DB load.

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

yup!! that's why we need flood control even more...... especially for search, cos search takes up more resources than posting.

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.

that's the wonder of tab browsing.

when search no result
then there will be no flood control
the thing is, just because there's no results that doesn't mean no search was done.

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

now again do consider the # of spammers we have on LYN. the time delay for posting / search is to provide the rest of you faster load time from LYN server - that's good, no?
