      The last topic report from your IP was less than 40 seconds ago. Please try again later.

      this makes reporting "crap" time consuming….
      is there an option to remove this feature for member that have > x_#posts or account_creation_date > x#_days  ?

          If it's repeat spam from the same user, don't bother. Reporting one will net them all.

          It's to protect us from a high volume of malicious spam reports.

          Seems if that option existed it would be enabled.

            Like, the spammers mass-reporting themselves?

            The delay is retarded, end of story.

                Could still send you 1000 reports… Just take 11 hours something ;)

                Simple cron and you guys wake up to 1000 reports ;) hehehe

                I don't see why you would be spammed if only people with X number of posts could report.
