This is really ridiculous, and does NOT need to be this way for ANY reason. I want to be active on this site, I really do, but with the way it's coded, it's just not possible.

I log on, forgetting my password for the first time. Oops, have to wait 45 second each time I try with a new password. How irritating is that?

Great, I logged in. Time to search for posts about mtgox's downtime. I hit the search button, type in mtgox, and WTF? It says I searched recently when I didn't. Fine, I'll wait.

Finally, after waiting with my thumb up my ass for a minute, I search again, and I get results from years ago that are irrelevant. Fine, I'll go to advanced search.

I type mtgox in the box, and enter 10 for posts in the last 10 days, and click search. Oops! Can't search more than once every X number of seconds.

I wait another minute, hit search. Oops! I had my search term in the Google box and not the other box it was supposed to be in.

By now I'm sick of the BS waiting, so after putting my terms in the correct box I go AFK to play a computer game while the timer ticks down.

When I come back later, I click search. WTF? I'm not logged in. Time to start over again.

Fast forward to the time I actually get my search results, I find a thread to reply to to report my experiences with Mtgox. So I type my reply, and then post. WTF? It says I can't post more than once every 360 seconds, when I have posted nothing in weeks.

So I wait more than 5 minutes, thumb in my ass again, then I post. WTF? It says I can't make the same post twice? But my first one didn't get posted, and now I can't post this one at all. I've had this same issue before and it was hell trying to change the post enough so that it wouldn't trip the filter. Only one attempt every 5 minutes is possible with that.

So yeah..... Fix your damn site, it's really annoying and I have NO frigging clue how it manages to be this popular with all this BS.

If this post even went up, it's a miracle, but probably the last one I make.

to prevent people for trying your password every mini second..
