Problems poasting this morning

[gunslingerdick]

I have tried poasting this morning like I normally do. I've been able to poast some messages but at other times, I've tried poasting and I get a message saying, "as a free user, there is a limit to how many messages you can poast at one time. Please wait a while and try again later or subscribe." Has anyone else seen anything like this today?

@Raising Heel - I can't even respond to your poast so I had to edit this one and tag you (hoping it works). So needless to say, I can't submit a complaint in the "complaint box". I found an email for John Gwaltney and emailed him. Hopefully I'll find something out. If not, this may be the last you've seen of gunslingerdick. 'Bout time I retire anyway.

Thanks.

Anybody know what the limit is?

11,676. Make it a good one.

Don't @ me. I pay the bills here.

Keep up the good work.....

 

[toophly1124]

I've had the same problem

 

[gunslingerdick]

Weird. Now I can poast. It's like it won't let me poast more than 1 message every 5-10 minutes. It's pissing me off.

Did Chick or Ignored Member all of a sudden become a mod? If so, that would explain it.

 

[coolwaterunc]

I haven't had any problems, but then again, I don't run my mouth enough to make multiple poasts in five minutes. If it's true, then that's some money whore BS.

 

[coolwaterunc]

Test

 

[coolwaterunc]

Test again

Edit: After I poasted this, I noticed the reply box is gone, and when clicking on reply, I get the dreaded message.

TarHeelIllustrated.com - Error
As a free user, there is a limit to how many messages you can post at one time. Please wait awhile and try again or subscribe!

Oh that pisses me the F off. F you, Rivals, if this money whore crap continues.

 

[gunslingerdick]

@toophly1124 doesn't poast that much either but he's had the same issue. This shit will drive me away from here quick. But maybe that's what the mods want.

@coolwaterunc - now you're just taunting me.

@coolwaterunc - yes, exactly, the reply box leaves the page. I think they're alloting only like 3 messages every 5 minutes or something. That will absolutely kill game threads. WTF? It's starting to look exactly like you've described it - that Rivals is basically squeezing free users to either pay for a subscription or to bounce. Out of principle, I'll say this to them:

So that's how they plan to get rid of OOTB. Very subtle of them.

 

[gunslingerdick]

Ok. I think I've found that "free users" get 3 messages every 10 minutes.

I'm waiting on an email back from John Gwaltney or to see Andrew Jones' response to my question in the thread "site issues". If they confirm this is the new deal, then I'm out. And I'll go down in a blaze of glory. I mean, I'l go nuclear here on my way out.

Thanks guys for all the hilarity. It was a good time.

 

[coolwaterunc]

Dude, seriously, this is BS. That was painful. If Rivals wants to find ways to get new Premium members, then being a straight up asshole to "free members" is not the way to do it. Money whoring at its best.

 

[coolwaterunc]

Okay, so I Googled this, and ended up finding these message on the national board:

Working with Rivals IT on this.
If you are getting this, clear cookies, cache, and history and log on fresh. Should fix the issue.

Also they are upgrading the spam filter so if you are just trying to hit reply over and over too fast it may be catching you there. Just like in the old system having the 1 minute timer.

Sounds like it might be temporary.

Seriously? We were soooooo close to getting rid of GSD and then you had to go and let him know it was temporary. Thanks for ruining the plan.

The admins were most likely going to tell him the same thing, so I thought I'd deflect the blame from them to myself because I'm a nice guy.

 

[strummingram]

It's just the reply function, I think.

Well . . . . Heelbent did say he was hated yesterday IIRC.

 

[gunslingerdick]

Well, I guess you guys are stuck with me...for now. But I was kind of looking forward to going nuclear here before leaving.

 

[gunslingerdick]

Poasting again because I can.

 

[gunslingerdick]

And again.

Geeeeez...took me all night to rig that dang reply function.

(mumbling)

 

[heelmanwilm]

Sounds like a way to filter spam.

 

[coolwaterunc]

I guess republican policy has taken over OOTB because liberals would never deny freedom of speech or any freedoms at all. See? Y'all get what you give out. LOL

Doesnt work

 

[coolwaterunc]

Going to be interesting in the game thread on the football board if this holds up.

 

[coolwaterunc]

Alright, this is really starting to annoy the hell out of me.

@andrew jones, please tell me Rivals is just testing stuff behind the scenes and this BS is going away soon.
