Yes, thanks to the fine suggestion and support of 'essxjay' we have now implemented Flood Gate which should help with the dupe posts. As doc noticed, we did change from 15s to 60s after testing a few different times on some other boards we're toying with. The shorter times did not prevent server or user dupes too much, but we have found that 60s works just about right since one is likely to take more than a minute to read another post and respond to it. Again, it was the suggestion of essxjay who has lead to almost eliminating this annoying habit of the web. Dupes be gone. But it doesn't solve every instance. I cleaned up a thread in the last two days where a member had posted the same message 7 times and they were minutes apart. Anyway, let us know is you think it's working.
