Hey guys, when I tried to make another posts after a minute of my previous post, it says "The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later. The thing you were trying to post was saved as a draft. This limit decreases substantially as your account becomes more established."

Why is it so? Are newbies not allowed to make posts frequently?
It's combination of you activity and rank, once you get higher you limits will be lower.
Every member has some limits and they are all stickied in meta so go and look there to get more educated about this please.

Its just activity, see the formula you linked. Its boild down to 3 basic steps:

the first major reduction to 75-30 seconds once your activity is over 14, but still not 60 or higher
the second reduction to 30-27 seconds once your activity is 60 or higher, but still not 100 or higher
the third reduction to 12-4 seconds once your activity is 100 or higher.

Once you reached 500 actitivty you will be stuck at a 4 second limit, which I notice once in a blue moon.
Oh yep thank you for correcting me.
