Flood Limit
I can type above 60WPM so having the 60 minute flood time limit is a bit of a pain. Can you please decrease the time limit needed to wait?

RE: Flood Limit
I have changed it to 40 seconds (I presume you meant seconds when you said minutes in your post).

The flood was there to prevent spammers from posting too quickly but hopefully spammers will decrease on the forums anyways.

RE: Flood Limit
Do you have any form of Security to stop the spambots? I can't remember what I came through for the registration but it seemed like basic Captcha. I would highly recommend using the Security Questions plugin. My forum used to get 100 bots a day, now we don't even get touched.

The problem wasn't the automated bots, its the human bots that spammed links and made decent but poor quality posts. Additional security in registration wouldn't stop them - nothing but moderation does.

RE: Flood Limit
Human spam bots for a forum this size? Wow. They must be bored.
