Can the time limit be reduced so we can report posts/spam faster? It's....frustrating...to have to wait 120 seconds...especially when we're trying to beat up the spammers.

The time limit should be 20 seconds. Can you post the error msg. I actually asked Pekka the other day to get it increased because I thought it had gone away after the server move because there were a spammer that posted 10+ threads in less than 4 minutes.

btw you don't need to report all posts from the same spammer. We always check post history and remove all so one report per spammer is enough.

We're raising your time limit to 120 minutes, Pete, for just that reason.

This is the message I just received:

Ok will ask Pekka to look at it. The limit is probably for emails via the profile but the report post can also send an email so maybe thats the issue.

Hey.. I'm only reporting spammers because they're posing adverts for laptops in the nature section - they should have posted it to the post processing section instead. Obvious, innit?

Yeah - but it's the "Hey I've just got a new 30D" threads that you also try to get us to send over to RAW and Post-Processing . . .
