"You must wait x seconds to post" ?

Why is this appearing?

Happens with me ALL the time! It's getting annoying, but I know it's probably something you guys can't fix.

You have to wait certain time between posts. The forum software does that so spammers can't flood the forum in seconds.

I think often something that also happens is that people accidentally double-click the reply button, so you get that message.

Spammers...that seems plausible.

It's kinda frustrating sometimes,
I also noticed recently changed in the last forum update that the time limit to edit your post is much longer now, which is great! It used to be 5 minutes, now it's way longer than that, sometimes I come back a half hour later and I still have the option to edit my post

I know sometimes I accidently click twice to post and it'll say it. Most of the time on my end it's stupid lagging issues with my computer. I also like you have more time to edit your posts.
