‘You must wait at least 40 seconds before performing this action’

[Apple In My Pie]

Just tried to post a reply on Louise Pentland’s thread. And got the above message. When I tried again it seemed to count down (20 seconds, 8 seconds) - is there a reason why? I’ve been here a year and never came across those types of messages before today. Am I in trouble?

I think you tried to post a comment too soon after you posted one. It happens to me on occasion.

I think it's a universal thing. You have to wait between comments. I get it sometimes trying to comment on different threads st the same time.

Probably to prevent spamming presumably.

Thank you both I thought I had been given the banhammer

Nope, it's for everyone a 120 second limit between messages. Just to avoid the chatroom style messages I think

Maybe that’s the answer to my question.
