Post flooding

Why do I get a message about Post flooding when loading anything into a post. This started a week or so ago, I'm doing nothing different but can't post a video.

It has been working OK for me now, but I see not for everyone.

Ok thank you, I'll keep looking into it.

rebecca@ebay- There's now a second post flooding issue. This is different from the original. See my post here for reference-

These are spam controls, so there is going to be a need to limit the number of posts in X time. Even at 30 seconds you may run into this frustration, and one in say 15 seconds is giving spammers too much room to cause havoc. 

I think the right thing is to have the team focus on the underlying thing that needs to be fixed, which is the HTML issue, so no one is having to try to post twice in a short space.

Thanks!
