A couple years ago we could sometimes get an error message, "You're posting too quickly ..." I suppose that was a safety check that was too conservative and so, stopped.

Anywho, I needed to step back from the forum today, and with the bot still running around this is as good as any to take a break.

I will say for any new joinee- first 5 posts should be approved by moderator/Admin and they should be only allowed to first post in intro section.
This way less clutter to clear .
