Content Not Published when trying to post in the forum

Today I was going through my notifications and responding to posts as many do, when all of a sudden, this happens......

It is hard enough to keep track of where I am at in my notifications because when I look at them once, they ALL get marked as read. So when going back in it is a real pain to find where I left off. So this happening and saying try again later, when later I will probably have more notifications and then really have to spend some time to figure out where I was, is just terrible. Why would we be penalized for replying to existing posts we participate in? Maybe I could understand if we were limited to how many new posts we could start within a certain time frame but this is just bananas to me. 

I have posted before about the problem of all notifications being marked as read when you go into them. If that was fixed this wouldn't be such a big deal. Not to mention it would be time savingly awesome.

  • I've complained about this before, but still no change...

    I've been a member of the different sims forums for well over 16 years and they only allow me to make a few posts before blocking. It is totally ridiculous. Like you say, how are you supposed to respond to existing threads already participated in? And when is 'later'? An hour? Two? Just some random time, whatever it feels like on any given day?

    I started a new thread last night and wanted to come back and respond to each individual who had been kind enough to post an answer - there were 9 replies needed. I did five and then it blocked me. I waited an hour and a half and then was allowed to do 3 before being blocked. Now I'm waiting to do the last one post. (I prepared this post in advance and then had to wait 3 hours before publishing *rolls eyes*)

    Sometimes this forum is just so annoying I feel like leaving and never ever coming back.
