You have to wait 30 seconds in between posting a new thread or post and another one. It is so someone cannot click "Reply" fill in the thing with some silly post, or some offensive post, post it and just use the back button and keep on doing it and get 90000 posts in 2 minutes all saying the same thing. Just wait 30 seconds in between posts.
