Failure to load and spontaneous redirects

[SwimExpert]

It seems that someone was tinkering with things and has broken the board. Page loads are unusually difficult. The window between posts is set to 6 minutes. Why would someone have to wait 6 minutes before making another post? That doesn't make any sense. Navigation is buggered all to hell. It seems about 80% of all navigation attempts redirect elsewhere.

I'm not an expert, but I think that the problem is probably caused by a mod trying to adjust some otherwise benign settings and accidentally causing a cascading error due to incompatible settings. This most like would be found in an administrative settings panel or dashboard. You probably will have some filters or global configurations titled "personal biases management" or something along those lines. It would be a control to set automated responses when you don't like the fact that someone has said something you don't like, or when an arbitrary interpretation of rules in conjunction with selective and arbitrary enforcement leads to unwanted truth which exposes assorted biases.

To correct the problem you will most likely need to reset the personal bias management to default configurations. Often times certain combinations of personal bias settings will conflict with internal logic. For example, if you assign boolean values for "two legs" and "four legs" as "bad" and "good" respectively, but then set their relational operators as two legs > four legs, you will likely see the kind of error that is currently being experienced. It may also help if you perform the reset while naked, so as to avoid any panty bunching.

Thank you in advance to the USMB staff for addressing this problem. You guys do a bang-up job around here!

FYI - Mods are not able to 'tinker' with settings. Want to try again?

Not until you cure your own stupidity and come up with something that doesn't constitute a 4 year old's comprehension level. Clearly something has been done to break the board. Whatever name you want to label it is irrelevant.

Again, Mods are not able to change any setting having to do with the board. The only people capable of that are admins. Got it?

Now, if you are being redirected to the RULES, then it's very likely you were placed on slowdown. With you saying you can't post without a delay of about 6 minutes, that is what it sounds like.

Hey admin, got a 10 minute setting?

I can't imagine why swim expert would be on slowdown.

This thread is funny as fuck, albeit perhaps unintentionally.

So maybe it was an admin. Either way, someone broke the internets 'round here. And whatever this slow down nonsense you're talking about, it doesn't exist. After all, why would it exist? If you read the various threads about the rules and enforcement thereof you will see that enforcement is done through infractions and bans. There is nothing about a "slowdown." You really want us to believe that mods would flip some kind of switch to permanently slow down a particular user's connection, just for the shits and giggles of it? Or is it supposed to be some kind of back door ban for when you want to ban someone because you don't like the views they post, but they haven't actually done anything to warrant giving them infractions, much less a ban? Is that what you're trying to say?

I don't do unintentional funny.

Get over yourself. You ARE on slowdown for infractions you have received.
