Ok…so I sort of understand spam blockers after ONE post report…but NOW there is a nice new feature…a spam blocker because one posts more than three times. Come on.
Some of us read and post quickly.
I got a 180 second block because I made three edits to my own post too quickly. (Auto-correct kept interfering with my edit LOL)
@CCadmin_Sorin, could you comment on this?
It is interfering with our hobby. 
Guys, this measure has been in place for quite a while now. The time between posts has been set so that it helps us fight the enormous amount of spam we get on College Confidential. While we understand this may be inconvenient to some of you, we feel the measure is more than needed to keep a clean community and ensure the high standard content. Thanks!
Hmm, that is probably why I’ve had a few post disappear that were benign and I couldn’t figure why an admin would delete them.
And yes, there are some of us that during certain hours are prolific on posts. 
And some of us who proof read only after we post 8-}
Today was the FIRST time I got a red banner telling me I had posted too frequently…and a spam blocker was on place for me. NEVER got that before today.
I’ve been getting the block for post reports for a while. But not one for replying on threads.
@thumper1, can you please email me the spam blocker you got today? I will then follow up to see if anything has changed at our end. Thanks!
Sorry…but once the 180 seconds has gone…the little red banner disappears.
I’ll see if I can replicate it.
Trying to now…it’s not working.
It worked…and I sent you a screenshot.
FYI, I have had the same issues.
What is the status of this?
@thumper1, this is work in progress with the tech team. I’ll let you know as soon as we have news. Thanks!
I just got one today for the first time I can remember. 300 seconds! An eternity in CC time… :((
I post from my phone, so i have a lot of typos and (thus) a lot of edits. This has happened to me a few times – make a post, edit it, make a different post, try to edit and boom the 3-minute wait.
Can’t this be set up so, say, only people with less than 100 posts have this restriction? Or something like that? @CCadmin_Sorin
^Oh, I wish they’d put me in charge of all the things that posters CAN’T do with less than 10, 50, or 100 posts.
I’d have a field day. >:)
I have had the same issue that others report, and it does seem to have just started recently.
I often flag posts first thing in the morning. The Chinese ones, and advertisements that appear overnight. It is annoying to not be able to flag them more frequently than every five minutes. Maybe there could be some kind of feature that would allow reliable posters (maybe with 1000 or more posts?) to flag posts more frequently?
Another thing that might be useful: I am sure mutiple users flag the same post. Maybe mods have a way of seeing it, but it might be useful for a flagged post to be highlighted in some way so that other users don’t have to do so. Sometimes I just comment with “flagged.” @CCadmin_Sorin
Guys, we are working to restore previous functionality so that edits are not counted as new posts. This is still work in progress with the tech team. I’ll let you know as soon as this is resolved.
@CCadmin_Sorin I posted my first thread today and went to post something else and I got a 300-second block. Isn’t it supposed to do that after 3 or something?
