@wman: seriously dude, are you gonna keep begging? I have made it quite clear that such things will not make it into the program. If you want that kind of future it should be implemented at forum level, not application level (as I have stated enough times before).
Yeh, when there is no flood control enabled IPB 3 still uses minimal flood protection. I haven't hunted down the code in IPB 3 yet which is responsible for this behavior so I can't accurately say how many new threads it allows in a certain timespan. But from testing my guess would be 1 thread can be posted per 1 or 2 seconds. If you want all leeched threads to get posted you'd need to set the pause value (NOT timeout, that's a different thing) to 1 or 2, or possibly higher if it still skips threads.
Aww, me no smexy enough?
