Why Do I Receive This Message Movie Chat??


I keep receiving this message every time I try and reply to someone that says "Uh-Oh.. Looks like you're doing this too much, please try later" Why do I get this message?? Very annoying??

reply

I believe it’s to prevent posters from spamming.
For new users the time between posts seems to be longer, I’ve been here a while now and I still get the pink banner as well but only if I make a post within a minute of a previous post.

Welcome to MC, it’s a good site👍

So how long inbetween posts before I can make a new post and not receive this message?? I mean after awhile, they should be able to tell who's a spammer and who isn't, right?? Seems like a resonable site not intent on banning you for silly reasons??

reply

You will always get the message, but it becomes shorter the longer you use your account. I've been here since the beginning and I have to wait a minute. Don't worry, they won't ban you for posting a lot.

That I don’t know, but I don’t recall waiting long before the pink banner eased up.

As to banning it’s fairly rare, the Mods are usually hands off, in most cases the posters behave pretty well anyway. One thing you’ll want to avoid is posting political stuff on general discussion, that WILL get you in hot water with the Mods and many of the posters. Posters that do the politics thing here get labeled a shit bird pretty quickly.

this happens to some new posters. they have to wait 10 minutes between posts. i never quite understood it.

It's so they can't spam their bullshit.

Signed, million man.

It's foolish. A growing site should encourage as much activity as possible.

i don't understand it and it seems random.
