Flood Control?

[medusaoblongata]

Spark (or whoever) - I just tried to post on two different threads, one right after the other, and got an error message saying something like, "We have flood control activated. You cannot post within sixty seconds of your last post. Please try again after that time period has passed." I did try again after that time period had passed and it worked, so I'm asking more out of curiosity than anything else. But what is this flood control thing? Is it to eliminate the notorious double(or triple)-tap? TIA
