[kimgold2010]

Hi!

We do apologize for the inconvenience.
Although there is the inconvenience in the process of posting, but it is useful to prevent spammers.
And you only click this button once time before you post message.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

thats what moderaters and verification tools are for a lon delay each time u post  jsut makes  acculay visitors want to post less as they think theres somethign wrong with the site  and end up  hitting submit a dozen times
 
if the delay was say cut in half it would  be jsut as effective but  seem like like theres a problem

[lspiderl]

my group just cant get past teh delay  so it looks like we wont be  keeping the site if theres no way to remove it
 
its jstu TOO much of a hassle to use which is sad because i relay liked it  besides that /sigh i was even ready to take advantage of the pay services    but waiting 30 seconds EVERY time we post is jstu  unbearable
 
what i realy dont get is why its like that for my boards but not here

I must admit i had the same frustration when i first started my forum however when you weigh up the for & against i decided to stay.

Many other free forum hosts have  problems with their sites being down a lot of the time ( one i know of has server error messages appear regular), their support team are very slow at answering problems or fixing problems with members forums ( often leaving them for a couple of days with out answering then do nothing about it)), they promise this that and the other but most of the time will not deliver with out additional costs.

There may be a delay in posting but apart from that i have found this to be the best free host for reliability, support , up time and friendliness 4 things that to me are more important than a 30 second delay.

I hope you take the time to consider these things before moving on. if you decide to move on then i wish you all the best.

the problem is the descision isnt soely in my hands
 
its a group choice with the mapmaker having hte largest sway over teh group and he cant STAND teh delay so  no matter how much i love it if hes not into it the group wont follow
 
that said a 30 second delay jsut to post is truely absurd and doesnt help stop spam it jsut annoys posters
 
it should be something each site can choose  not a blanket  setting   ive got great moderators and have NEVER had a problem wwith spam or moderation  so all this does is make things needlessly complicated
 
i mean look at these support boards   theres no delay on these for some reason and yet  no spam
 
 
so why is it these boards  no delay but  were stuck with it
 
i mean esspecialy if i decide to go for paid service it doesnt make sence not to have that choice

[ramook]

Ok How is it possible that in these a short time sending a posts,but i think they use same phpBB
example
DreamBox-Zone - Početna

[lspiderl]

im not sure what your saying bro
 
but if i sumbit a post here its instantanious  
 
on my board  if i submit a post it sits there for 30 seconds  seemingly doing nothing before it goes through which makes people think its not working

Hi,

I think lspiderl want to disable "spam preventer", ramook.
Something that Paul said is so sensible.

We do apologize for the inconvenience.
Although there is the inconvenience in the process of posting, but it is useful to prevent spammers.
And you only click this button once time before you post message.

Hope you will understand.

i mean esspecialy if i decide to go for paid service it doesnt make sence not to have that choice

We're still in discussion about the paid service for remove Ads or some other choice you want.
If there is some good news, we'll let you know.

except  its not that usefull to prevent spam its only useful in preventing people from posting regularly as they get frustertated with waiting
 
 
 
i can understand a small delay when posting but 30 seconds is HUGE   and it doesnt even give u a messege that its going through so it just makes it seem like teh forums are slow
 
and like i said before  if it was so important why wouldnt it be implimented on the support forums as well ?   because here i click sumbit and it goes righ through
 
on my boards i click sumbit and it sits there doing NOTHING for at least a full 30 seconds or more

[lspiderl]

in fact as i think about it the delay only HELPS spammers as now they have 30 seconds to  click submit as much as possible to make  6 dozen spaming threads   so it accualy makes itEASIER to spam rather than harder

[lspiderl]

still trying to figure out why if this delay is so nessisary then why isnt it   turned on for the support forums ?

[tanduy2506]

Hi lspiderl,

I can understand a small delay when posting but 30 seconds is HUGE   and it doesnt even give u a messege that its going through so it just makes it seem like teh forums are slow

Now we set the posting delay down to 15 seconds.
We know you feel a little uncomfortable but we just want to protect our server.
I really hope you understand.
 

and is there a pay option to remove adds ?

Now you can remove advertisement out of your forum by paying a fee for this.
Just go to http://www.freeforum.ca/upgrade-forum.html and choose an option of "Ad Removal" that you want.

Thanks for your suggestion.
