Flood control will remain at 60 seconds. That is a reasonable amount of time. I have seen other forums that do 300 seconds, so be happy that it is only 60 here. Flood control prevents spammers, and very importantly, spambots, from ruining the forums. I have seen it before (and had to personally deal with) spambots on a forum that managed to make 100+ posts inside of an hour just because there was no flood control. That is quite insane work for moderators to deal with constantly trying to ban the spambots and delete all the posts. What can be even worse is there are some crazy forum-goers out there who will do insane amounts of spam and if you ban them they create another account. You IP ban them and they switch to another IP. The flood protection drastically helps the forum staff with dealing with these types of forum threats. Again I will stress, 60 seconds between posts is not an absurd amount and although perhaps it may be more than some forums, it is less than many others.
