  • 1 minute edit limit...

    ... Any change of finally lifting this highly annoying limitation and replacing it with something more reasonable such as 10-15 minutes?

      Again, the current time limit of one minute is in place as it ended up cutting down significantly on spam. Still need to get to a better anti-spam solution though is on my TODO list.

        Why not have a Linux-based 'question' as part of the registration process? How many spammers are going to go to the trouble to research the answer?

        It should be a question that any Linux user would easily know.

        The other techniques such as entering the characters is something a human can easily get around. Having a question that Linux users would know is not so much, perhaps? Just an idea.

          I understand.
          However, even raising it to 2-3 minutes will greatly improve the ability to fix typos, mistakes, etc.
          As I stand, I seldom manage to finish loading the page (containing the thread) before the 1 minute cap is over, let alone re-reading my post and fixing mistakes...

            And raising it to two or three minutes lets all the spammers back in...

              Actually, there've been several spammers get through your 1 minute edit and a few of the other barriers to posting spammage. While I presume it'd be bad without it, it's not so hot with it in place- and it's causing it's own set of issues.

              I don't know if there's much of any effective spam-barrier method for web boards.

                How about rising it to 3 minute edit after person has posted at least 50 comments?

                Or adding the possibility to "update/add to" the original post?
                Im actually more for "add to whats already posted" feature.

                  That's what originally I was going to do, but I haven't found the time yet to do that or investigate any other anti-spam plug-ins...

                    Or even completely remove the limit if the user has posted at least 20 comments. If a bot has already successfully spammed 20 times, they obviously don't care about edit limit.
