Anti spam measures that may temporarily affect compers

Misslayed

Please read the pink banner at the top of the page. The forum has been flooded by some extremely determined spammers in the last couple of days. An unfortunate side effect of increasing the sensitivity of the spam filters is that high speed comp posters may be warned that they are posting too quickly. If it happens to you, please email the forum team, and rest assured it is temporary.

The last "temporary" measure was introduced in May and was running continuously until tightened today. I have no confidence that this measure is temporary.

I have no confidence that the Forum Team will do anything if you contact them - they usually don't (or can't)

I have no confidence that this will be sorted as soon as possible.

Forum Rule No.4 applies:

 I see your point but something needs to be done about the spam. Forum is becoming unusable at times due to spam

Not surprising when you see just how much Spam is coming in. We don't see it on the comps board but other boards are inundated.

Updated message:

This was after posting a comp at 11.04 and 11.05 then trying to post another at 11.07. Helpfully, the message has been updated to say that the timer starts again if you try too early.
