Over the last 2 days I've started getting this message when posting my AAR. Has something changed or am I just getting faster?

This is in response to the spam attacks earlier in the week.

Oh ... didn't know that happened. Will this restriction be lifted after a while or is this something we're going to have to live with from now on? It's more than doubling the time (at times) to post my AAR. I understand if this is the new norm, but I hope not.

The attacks against the General Discussion forum were pretty sustained so I suspect they will keep in place for a while at least.

Now it seems if I try to make a post too soon after the previous one the server is logging me out and I have to log back in to post. Is that part of the new security to protect against a spam attack?

Regardless, how long do I need to wait between posts?

This is a test to see if it looks at the text too.

Edit: I was wondering is if it is comparing what is the text window too, but apparently not.

Another message.

From this bit of testing it looks like 2 to 3 minutes is how long you need to wait.

I have to log in using my PC regularly into the beta forum since over a month. Don't have that problem using my iPad. Strange.....
