WTH is a slow mode?

What is going on with the forum lately? Why I can’t edit or post more than one post at a time? It tells me that it is in a slow mode and can’t post for two hours.

Which topic thread are you referring to?

Slow Mode is what it says. A topic can be put in slow mode if the topic is going off-line due to community guidelines infringements. Basically it is a ways of slowing down the posting to ensure individuals have the time to collect their thoughts and get the topic back on target.

I see, I though it was something new that affects everything on the forum. Thanks for clarifying :+1:

I’ve used it as an admin in Discord a few times too. Basically I only use it if there is a server raid (spammer attack), or if people are fighting (forces them to calm down and wait instead of posting nonstop emotionally).

Sometimes I’ve issued it on particular users instead of the whole channel.

I’m sure it’s the same thing here. In my experience of using it, it can be helpful.

:point_up: When I read this, why did I imagine Carver as some sort of wizard casting a sloth spell on users within his dominion? :man_mage: :magic_wand: :sloth:

Who says it was imagining?

I totally get it, I just haven’t experienced it before. I had replied to Dave and I just wanted to reply to Antonious and a message popped telling me that I can post for two hours.

No foul no harm, life goes on :grin:

Somebody :face_vomiting:ed in response to my question about the new funny looking lamp cam’s design award. Their post was ridden out on a rail (hidden by down flags from the community.) Can’t recall the last time I’d seen one of those.

I saw that reply post. I didn’t notice it’d been flagged. Eep!

I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Seemed like a valid opinion, and I don’t think it violated Community Guidelines.
