Is the Anti-Flood system an "all or nothing" thing, or can it be configured in a more granular way? I understand the desire to put it in place to prevent spamming, but the risk of that sort of behaviour from well established members (e.g, 12 months and 1000 posts as per the NP&E subforum) must be very low? Could it be disabled for post editing rather than making new posts, for instance?

Obviously it's not a huge thing but from a quality of life perspective not being able to do things like correct spelling mistakes you've made in a post immediately because of the Anti-Flood System inserting itself is mildly irritating.

I had that over the weekend when i tried to go back into a post i'd just made to correct an IMG tag error i'd made on a photo. I waited about 5 seconds, clicked the button to edit again and was able to get back in and make the change.

So i assume the delay is max circa 10 seconds between the time i made my post, realised the error, clicked on the button to make the edit, and then got access to make the edit. If that's the case, i'm not sure it really needs removing as it's only a very slight delay tbh.
