Search timer

Post by usernamesareannoying »

Just wondering why we have it and if it’s still necessary?
Just to be clear in talking about the 30 serving wait timer between searches.

Thanks
*notes about trading with me…
I do not like drawn out deals. Id like to have a deal signed and complete within 48 hours.
I abide by the unwritten rules… lower rating ships first pays first.
I always provide delivery confirmation and expect the same.
All deals are US only.

The timer is there to prevent bots from performing a "DDoS" attack. (Distributed Denial of Service)

Basically a bot can flood the search function and overwhelm the server. I feel it's annoying too, but it's there for protection for all legit users of the site.
