Currently seems like the system temporarily hold accounts that “type too fast” after creating a new account as a measure to prevent bots.
Which is fine. However, I don’t understand if there is somewhere an option to change this length. I would prefer is those users are suspended for a longer time so that I can be sure that someone from staff review it. Currently, the time windows seem very short (but it might depend on from the availability of your staff I suppose)
I thought they were silenced for 1000 years (effectively, ‘until a staff member deals with it’).
I’ve dug out an example from here on meta - ‘@system silenced this account until December 23, 3023. Reason: New user typed too fast’
Weird, maybe some moderator unblocked the users without me noticing. I’ll double check next time it happens. Cheers
Did you find this setting? We are getting this error too when a user supposedly typed too fast. It’s very sensitive.
I believe this setting has had a recent update and is now called Fast typing threshold [1]:
Fast typing threshold
Minimum amount of time in milliseconds a user must type for their first post. If the threshold is not met, the post will automatically enter the review queue. Low is 1 second, standard is 3 seconds, high is 5 seconds.
updated from min first post typing time ↩︎
