That was there in the old version too. I think it’s to stop autobot spammersWhile we're discussing problems with the site, how about getting rid of the "You must wait ___ seconds to post this." ? What is that all about? Why should we have to wait x number of seconds to post something?
It's called "flood control", it stops spam posters from posting the maximum amount of spam in the minimum time.While we're discussing problems with the site, how about getting rid of the "You must wait ___ seconds to post this." ?

And still we're weeding out spammers almost every day in the early hours...I was going to post too that it was also a "feature" of the old version of the forum - AFAIK necessary to distinguish genuine posts from attempts of spam flooding.

But if we would get even more spam posts without this sometimes annoying feature, I'm happy it's there!
Simple answer. Scammers are often human although those caught out by them may disagree. However, a Captcha can often confuse humans too if they suffer disability.May I ask a stupid question? Why not install reCAPTCHA on the site? I'm sorry, I know it's none of my business (yes, I understand that you are not a programmer, but I can't ask them that)
The delay in sending a message is also not done from people. It's generally difficult to do anything with a living person, they are usually blocked by ip (haha, as if not everyone knows how to bypass this), but spamming is somehow unworthy for such a highly intelligent being as a person, too boring an activity, a person would try to steal a database. Perhaps you mean by recaptcha its first version (where it was necessary to enter words) or the second version (where it is necessary to choose pictures), but the third version does not interact with the user at all (unless he is trying to do something similar to an attack, a la to develop or test the site), this does not cause problems for the average userSimple answer.

Definitely not!I don't think I have done anything recently to put me on the naughty step.
Yes, like you I post less than I used to...which is probably why I'm not on the naughty step....Does mean I don't reply as much as I used to, which might be a good thing
