I hate flood control because...
1. When I am trying to type returns I type way to fast and then I have to go back and wait a hole 60 seconds!!!
2. The white text annoys me.
3. When it says we have activated flood control, who is we?
Anything else that I am missing, I noted that a lot of people complained about it so I thought this might be the appriopate time to post a topic about it!

Funny, I've never had a problem with flood control. (even pre-mod: waiting a whole 60 seconds is no big deal, go refill your drink or something) And white text on black is a lot nicer on the eyes than black text on white, especially with old cathode-ray monitors.

I really dont mind it much. I dont post that fast and it gives the mods some time to work on spammers in between posts.

The "we have flood control activated" makes it seem like it's a temporary emergency measure to quell spammers.

It's worse at a school or somewhere where more than one computers shared the same IP address.
But I don't hate flood control. I don't think. I always feel slightly rewarded when I get it, in fact.

Well, when the flood comes, *then* see if you think flood control is a good thing!

You should see the one where Andrew is in a ballarina costume, or where he gets "breast implants."

They're all on his directory, accessable from the bottom of the guidelines or (sometimes) his sig.

That's a baseball bat. It's to beat you, as you said in your post.
