There are other Threads about this problem.

It is part of the Forum's attempt to thwart spammers. I believe you are only allowed 1 post every 5 minutes until you have accumulated 100 posts.

Is it possible to personally verify with a mod or similar that we're not spammers in an event to be able to carry on a conversation with multiple threads?

What's annoying is that an edit of a post also counts as a post...

I made a mistake in my post, went to edit it and was told I was posting too much.

Replying to someone that had replied to me was also a chore, having to wait five minutes to give a 'yes' answer to a simple question.

Express your dismay here...
