Well, I guess the flood protection needs some tweaking...  |

Did you change anything yet? Because I also get those flood messages, and never had them before... I just tried to send two legit PM's to someone and got that warning message (even after waiting more than a minute and all) :/
I can't seem to send any PM's anymore to that user...
EDIT:
I send a PM succesfully to another user (after 5 minutes or so; but dunno how much this wait mattered)
After that I also could send the second PM to this first user... (but it was annoying that I couldn't earlier)

RE: pm abuse?
 Yeah, I tweaked it already.
I made it so that you can't send a message to someone too soon after your last message to them (exactly like posting in a thread), and also so that you can't spam someone with 3 or more messages in a 15 minute period unless you're having a conversation (getting replies).
Not acceptable?  |

second one is acceptable...
But for the first one not IMO; sometimes you forget to say something in a PM and need to send a second. In a thread, you can easly edit your previous post, but this isn't possible with PM's... Thus, it is very annoying that you can't do that anymore and must wait for a reply or a long period of time. This can lead to confusing "conversations"...
And because of the second tweak, the first tweak also seems a bit redundant since you can't send more then 3 PM's anyways... .-= A 'frrrrrrrituurrr' for Wacky =-. |

RE: pm abuse?
I have to totally agree with Cookie here..yesterday i researched something wich resulted in me sending 3 pm's, correcting my previous ones (wich resulted in me not beeing able to send the third for quite some time).
So you see sometimes it is necessary to send several pm's in a short period of time (corrections). Now there is flood protection the just meaning of sending pm's is suffering over a measurement taken over what? 1 person abusing? There has got to be another solution...

RE: pm abuse?
I think the limit should be around 10.Or every time they reply you can then reply to that message and that message only for 15 minutes until then you can send yet another PM to the same person.

Also if you make an error in the message you can edit it and resend it, but it has to be around more than 3+ changes to the message.
once a pm has been sent, you cannot recall it and edit. |

Well, I really think there needs to be flood protection... I've had it on my mind for a long time. Without it, it would be way too easy for someone to make a script that fills up some poor user's inbox in less than 5 minutes.  |

Weird thing is, i was able to send the first two real quickly...but not the third. Can you raise the limit to 5 per 15 mins or something.. so 3 can be sent a bit easier (usually if i correct something i don't need more than 3..but the wait is what bothers me)?
