Is there a rule to keep a gap between posts here? And if so what is the time gap?

[sprite1950]

I notice that if you do two posts one after the other on the same thread it will come up as one post but I wasn't aware of any other time gap.

[CyberFreak]

If you are the last poster in the topic and then post again within 24 hours of that last post, it will be merged automatically. If more than 24 hours have passed, it will create a new post after your last post.

If another user replies after your last post, you can instantly post again without it merging no matter how much time has passed since your last post.

I got the following message while I was active a few hours ago and I am really confused.

"You cannot make another post so soon after your last"

The following is my activity history Could you please tell me where I have gone wrong. Thanks.

I believe the condition CyberFreak has described is displayed in this example:

Normally, the extra entry of that kind of duplicated post is deleted during normal administrative review. It appears you came back and entered the identical answer 5 1/2 hours later, but since no one posted anything between the first and second post, it was automatically merged into a single entry. You did not receive any compensation for the added content.

The situation you are describing is different. Most likely it is because you posted something and then attempted to contribute another post, even on another topic, within a few seconds. That is the kind of too brief gap that triggers that kind of message. It is simply a program documentation delay more than anything else. You should probably wait at least a minute between posts to avoid that particular message and disruption.

I get it. That must be a slip or whatever as repeating is never done. Thanks for the explanation.

Yeah. Thanks for the explanation. Good question. Sometime my post get duplicated. If I can EDIT I'll delete the duplicate.

Thanks for clarifying since I was also confused about it before especially when I was still new at the site.

Just to confirm, this is due to the forums "Flood Interval". It means that if you as a user tries to post a second post within 15 seconds of your last post (even if it was in another topic) it will be generate this error. This is to prevent a malicious person setting up an account and then using an automated script to post hundreds of posts a minute. This could cause major issues such as high CPU usage or even using all our DB storage space. This flood interval means a user can post the maximum of 4 posts a minute making this kind of attack or abuse difficult.

maybe the rule is and in every forum

I thought they were talking about time between posts like days or months.I know I don't log in here all the time but I do just to let you know I am still here

The admin's post cleared up the doubt.I faced it two times on forumcoin and wondered why this is happening.Luckyily this thread gave me the answer.
