The forum requires that you wait THIS MANY SECONDS!

While I understand that stopping spam and bots are always one of the higher priorities of pretty much any web property these days.... but I have a question...

Have I angered the elders of the internet (or at least BHW) in some way? :P I mean, I used to get the 'wait 15 seconds' and I waited + things were fine, but:

This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between searches. Please try again in 158 seconds.

Really? 158 seconds? Am I that big of a threat that I must wait 2-3 minutes before checking the new posts again? or PM'ing someone? I read fast, I type fast. I move on. However I seem to be triggering more frequent & longer pause breaks now and many seem unwarranted.

Has anyone else been noticing increasing delays on times with things that shouldn't be triggering this?

I get that wait for a ton of seconds message too..

not too frequent but I have received it.

My posts also go above the poster that posted before me.. Obviously the timing/time on this forum is messed up hard

Well, that is my question/point. I wouldn't mind and understand if it was once in a while, but I am getting hit with these even though I wait a little bit before doing a separate search.

I get that too, i just simply leaves the forum then!

But that's not the solution.
