I've noticed recently that I get stopped from posting in the forums and get a message that reads No Spamming you have reached your limit for posts try again later. Why is this happening?

Today I got it after responding to a few polls and 3 or 4 Just for Fun entries. Is there a posting limit I am not aware of? 

Thanks.

I think it's mostly based on the rate of posting. No idea what it's set at (it may be confidential to prevent spamming), but it could be something along the lines of 5 posts per minute etc.
 
It may be inconvenient occasionally, but if it cuts down on the spam it's worth it.

I think it stops you from posting more than twice a minute.

Never seen it - it takes me five minutes to think of a reply to most posts I reply to anyway.
What?

Thanks for the info all. I'll have to type more slowly. Smile
