I will not loose three hours telegramming a password to natives with that annoying spam control installed. You should seriously consider editing the rules. When a region has 20 natives or more, telegramming one by one is a pain.

Unless of course you take away the spam control away from telegrams and apply it to HQ only.

Yes, I had to evacuate a large region myself, and it was quite tedious. I will ask the powers that be.

Ditto. Spam control on telegramming is insane.

Thanks TG :)

I love it when I telegram someone, and say twenty minutes later I telegram someone else and it says, my message could not be sent to prevent spam, twenty minutes.

The delay is 15 seconds. That's all. However, I do believe there are some other actions that may reset the timer though, like posting on a Civil HQ board.

So, TM-ing 20 natives of a password will take just a little over 5 minutes of your time. Please note you're only forced to do this if you're an invader.

Also, it's quite possible for invaders to cooperate in sending out telegrams by having five invaders send a TM to 10 nations each. It's really not a problem as long as sticking to the rules is something you want to do.

Tactical Grace: I sent out a similar message to about 75 or so nations, when my home region merged with another. I think that ended up taking me like 30 minutes (primarily because I was doing other stuff as well at the time), which I do not regard to be a problem for something that happens rarely anyway.

I have to do large-scale endorsement-swapping (i.e. contacting hundreds of people at a time), and spam control has never caused any problems for me.

I ocasionally have to TG natives to return to their region, though it is anoying, I have no problem with flood control. I have more problems with the slowness of this server. It is severly hampering my player's and posting abilities.

]Sorry, guys. It's this or spam.

Great answer. That's the same answer I give in my own forum. These few secs of flood control are only the problem you make of it. 8)

20 minutes! Wow -- bad luck. I've found that it usually only takes 30 seconds or so to send another message. I've found the spam control moderately annoying when I want to send welcome messages to a number of new nations, but certainly not crippling.

it can be annoying when you post a message and then try and add another message and i've found telegraming people is annoying to block spam and if your computer is slow then it takes an extra minute or so

It is highly annoying. I think spam control should be off for telegrams. It is good for Civil HQ however.

You don't have to worry about this because you're the founder of a region. You can do whatever you want with it.
