It's flood control ...

End of 2009 there was a lot of spamming on the Personal Message (PM) system. After consulting with reCaptcha (the provider of the captcha security system) we believe that humans are being used to bypass the captcha and then the newly created account is given to an automated script which sends PMs in huge quantities to you members.

The flood control limits how fast a member can send PMs thereby giving our moderators time to ban or delete the offending account.

I believe there has been some security updates since which should hopefully have solved the problem ....

So .... I've set the time between PM's to approx 10 secs.

If anyone gets any spam please report it straight away.
