Do I just need to send them more slowly?

I can understand that sending too many PMs too quickly can be flagged as bad.

But it's never been a problem for me before.


I can still use my mailbox, I just can't send anything.

I think the logic was [insert a number here] of mails in one minute. You may have sent one too fast...

Well then I must have been really close to exceeding that limit a number of times in the past.

I just can't believe that if it happened this time, it's never happened to me before.

I'm pretty sure someone will pop in here and tell you exact number how many it is, but yeah, this thing have been there for quite some time.

Nate - /gb/forum/ViewTopic.asp?TopicId=28646

Although as you opened up a new thread already, I'm pretty sure some of the admins will see it ;)

Okay, it's unblocked now.


But can a mod/an admin/Vlad PM me what the limit is to avoid so I can avoid it?

I just also realize it may not be a number they want public, since then people could also abuse that knowledge.

But if I'm not trustworthy after having been around for this long, and you wan't me to FOBY, I genuinely understand that too :D



Edit- Oof. I did search, but I guess not extensively enough... and din't think to paste the message itself... because a smart search uses fewer terms than that :P

Presume you aren't using the multiple managers in one PM effort then Nate?

I had this before Nate. I believe its either 5 or 10 seconds the auto flood kicks in to ban after the 3rd or 4th message within that time.

@Mikko Suhonen (P10) triggered this on our team forum, IIRC by sending too many posts within 10 seconds. The problem was... he is the forum topic mod and he couldn't unban himself :D

Yeah I found my limits! Granted, it was around the welcome-to-team-Ania-day and everyone was excited, but in the end it was the statistics update of 10 posts in 11 seconds which was too much :D

Edit: Actually, perhaps 10 was still ok but once posting the last and 11th post - BANT

Hi,

I can't send emails to other managers.
I have the message : "- You don't have permission to use the mailbox"

Could you help me ?

Quote ( Florencia Caro @ September 17th 2020,16:02:48 )

David, the mailboxes have an automatic block feature when you send too many messages in quick succession. It's unlocked now, but try to be more careful in the future and wait a few more seconds between messages.

Hi,

I have the same problem.
I can't send an email.
I have a message...
Could you unblock ?
Quote ( Florencia Caro @ October 11th 2022,04:23:19 )

Done

All mailboxes get auto blocked for flooding, please beware of it and give it a couple of seconds between PMs

Flo has so much more patience than I have. Knowing me, I couldn't do the mod gig.

My hat is off to the Lady of Gpro. Respect :)
