I make a post and then try to make another one, like a couple of MINUTES later... but it tells me I have to wait.

So I wait and wait.

And then, like a half hour later, I can post again.

whats up ?!?!?!?!!?

It's called a tarpit. it is for bad boys who can't stop spewing crap out of their mouths. basically, you are only allowed to post every 20 minutes or whatever. this way, you actually have to think about your posts in the hope that they will have a bit more substance.

hehe...

I'm actually just posting to see if xanx is right. I posted like two minutes ago and I want to see that is correct. I've never posted so close together.

damn, maybe it's an average. A lot of people actually do post too often and I was hoping that we could tell who the losers are that actually sit there and wait for the 20 minutes to be up.

I think the time limit is longer than 20 minutes.

All I want to do is post to 2 different topics and then leave, rather than posting.. waiting and then posting again.

Noone informed me as to why my posting was restricted.

And I do keep myself contained to the boldering forum 90% of the time.

I just want to post wakeskating photos !

Lox,

As I told you by PM, you have been put on a 1 hour delay "tar-pitted" for abusive posting. I was hoping that the Admin/Mod who actually did this would have notified you, but in the absence of that, you have now been officially notified here.

Can whomever did this to me please step forward and let me know why ?

Can someone from the administration treat their user with a shred of respect ?!?!?

Oh crap.. I totally forgot. Heh. I guess too many photos of LCC and the quarrying reminds me of a large group of administrators who have the ability to do as they please with no thought to the users of the area and no communication about what goes on.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I didn't mean to be offensive....

Good lord... it's bad enough that I have to take Curt's crap....

The least that can be acknowledged is a slight bit of unfairness in letting me know what is going on and why it is.

This is just crappy and telling me that I should maybe "behave" for a "probation period" is total crap. Craptastic crap.

Trevor. Let me know what's going on here, please.

Thanks.

wah. wah. wah.

I set up auditing on Friday (with a handy little warning) so that I

1) wouldn't have to do any actual work to find out what's going on, and
2) wouldn't have to track down individuals making a change -- it'd be automatic.

As was previously the case with photos, topic movements, etc., confirmations (and rationalizations or justifications or whatever you want to call them) will be sent to the affected parties. (I finally figured out how the hell phpbb2 mangles the PM tables in the database... what a steaming pile... at least it is efficient).

You're at 30 seconds right now (in other words, you're not tarpitted. At all). I don't know who tarpitted you earlier, but from Friday onwards, tarpits (and shortly to be added, various other contentious items like banning, post deletion, etc.) will be automatically audited, so any whining can be dealt with directly.

By the way, my account at b.com "went away". Fucking nazi moderators over there.

... and this is a BAD thing?

Lox: i agree the person who tarpitted u sould stop being a "politically correct angry woman" and own up to it. on the other hand, you should stop whining about it. if you can't post more than once an hour, that is motivation to actually GO OUT AND CLIMB!

Can someone outline the actual tarpitting procedure for me?
I'm interested in the reasons for, who can do it, how a decision is reached etc.

I understand that it is meant to stop 'abusive posting' but what qualifies as an abuse worthy of tarpitting rather than moderation?

Yeah, but my original account was "tim"...

*sigh*

I set up auditing for tarpits; when I get a chance I'll add the automatic PM's back in (for photos, and moderation moves, and now for tarpittings). I need to throw in a text field to give the mods room to note why they decided to "focus a users' creative energies".
