winCustomize Runs Very Slow
Sunday, July 16, 2006 by kmlane | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
You guys need to update, for this site is soooooooo slow on all days and at all times (feels like I'm on dial-up again). Never noticed any speed improvments with the subscription either. Makes my FIOS seem like dial-up.
This is meant a constructive critisism.

I am still using SDC Discussions to navigate the forums. Fast, easy, low load.
Any real spammer worth his salt would have a bot to handle this anyway. On the other hand . . the timer has prevented me from flaming another member once. So I guess it's a good thing.

| Actually...the only real grip I have with the site at this point is being held hostage by these forums every time I try to open a topic...then backing out is even worse...seems to take sometimes 3 clicks to get out |

The timer is a two fold solution. It helps prevent people (who, for the sake of optimism, we'll assume just dont know any better) from hitting the Refresh button or F5 key billions of times and making duplicate posts. We've seen the number of double/duplicate posts reduced significantly since this was implemented.
It's also a way to prevent spam. By limiting the number of posts per minute a user can make at the server, we're effectively slowing down any would be spammers. Enough so, that we can identify and 'take care' of the account(s) responsible before it gets out of hand and interrupts or floods the forums.
If you feel that subscribers to wincustomize shouldn't have to be restricted by this, please fire off an email to Tman and let him know your thoughts. (Please be kind)
