So they limited posting to once every 60 seconds to prevent postbots from taking over the board. It must be working, because the postbots are getting really pissed; two of them have already hit me up on ICQ to say how annoyed they are over the whole thing. One of them was practically crying.
p.s. Sure, something has to be done... but I don't see how this helps. Then again I don't know how a postbot works so maybe it's effective.
