My forum is so small that my users get automatic flags very rarely, But when it happends it comes mostly from one reason: new user wrote too fast very first post. Those have been everytime false positives.

So how fast is too fast and can I change that timeframe somewhere?

3 seconds… I asked, and she didn’t do copy&paste. I’m quite ready to believe her. Is there something that can kind of pause or stop that inner stopwatch?

In the settings it says typing time, not just the time the editor has been open 🙂

That’s can be true, but there is no way that user could type her message under three seconds 😉
