A lot of sites have that to prevent spam - probably just too many comments in too short a period.

@drsamgray ~ i dislike it too :(

@indiannie_jones ~ i thought that at first then realised id only actually commented on like 3 pics :S

@nikkers ~ .... i have now sat in the naughty corner for the allotted time ..... but next time can it please be for something actually naughty ? at least then i would have had enjoyment before the punishment ;)

@nattybabe ~ maybe we need gags .... or to choose better words ? ! lol

Hi guys,

Yes that was added a few months back, it is to stop spam as we had a bit of a problem a few months back, the limits are quite generous so you must have been a super quick typer. I might tweak them now as we will have a fair few new people on the site this week.

Thanks for the feedback.

oh yes, and also if you are copying and pasting the same comment over and over it will get flagged as potentially spammy behaviour.

I have just upped the limits slightly for new accounts so hopefully you wont see this again.

@Scrivna ~ thanks for the answer ross :) .... really though i promise i wasnt copy n pasting haha ! unless maybe somone had said the exact same thing maybe :S not sure but id only just started commenting and actually found the pic on the new faces page n was the first one on new faces i had clicked on and only about my 3rd comment so was confused by it lol .... its a good thing to stop repetative spam but that wasnt me this time haha !
