"You have exceeded the limit of 2 personal messages per hour."
also get ".... you need to wait 120 seconds between posting ....."

On a busy night like tonight when alot is being said in a short period of time it's abit annoying, is it by desgin james ? to counter bots or commercial spammers or ?

yes, it is to protect from abuse by bots.

Normally I don't use pm's very often.  I have never had a problem with posting directly to the forum.  I will increase the pm limit a bit though... maybe 4 per hour.  I have been flooded by spam bots before and it is not fun cleaning up.

"The last posting from your IP was less than 120 seconds ago. Please try again later."

Could you bump that a little also ?

I'm starting to think you're a bot Auri!

OK, 90 seconds but that's it.  "The line must be drawn HERE... this far,  NO FARTHER"
