zapatos Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I tried to send a PM to two different people in a row. The second PM failed with the following message: "You cannot start another PM topic until 26 June 2012 - 09:13 AM" Any particular reason for this?

A few minutes earlier? A guess is that it's an anti-spamming measure. If it wasn't in place you'd have people creating accounts and spamming the entire community with PMs trying to sell you v-one-agra or c-one-alis.

Yes, the PMs were sent within a couple of minutes of each other. Looks like it made me wait about 10 minutes or so to send the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 10 minutes seems like a high threshold, though I guess private messaging is not used much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapatos Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I just checked when I sent the first PM this morning and it was at 09:03 AM, so yes it made me wait 10 minutes to send the second PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yep. We occasionally have spammers sign up and send out three hundred spam PMs. I just set the limit to a PM every minute for members with more than 30 posts, since it most spammers are nuked before they hit that point.
