This is not a bug per se, and is probably more of a nit-pick...

While answering a couple of questions here, in my caffeinated state I triggered the flood control. The main message (Flood control has been enabled. You have to wait... etc.) is fine - but the link to go back reads something along the lines of "Go back to fix the problem"

What struck me is that it isn't a user "problem" outside of a little hyperactivity... however the less-than-intelligent users may mistaken that and think there was a problem and thus try to "fix" it.

Maybe we ought to change it to something a little different since it isn't a "problem" to "fix"? I'm not sure what it should read at this point in time, but I'll try to think of something as the day progresses.

Just a random and semi-coherent thought.<

That would explain why the link text says "go back and fix the problem"

I'm still not sure that its really a problem other than the text would lead the poster to believe that they have to "fix" something when all they really have to do is either type slower or switch to decaf.

Perhaps some more generic link text? Or maybe a way to pass the link text as part of the function? Looking at the Sub briefly, passing the link text could cut down on some of the decision making and simplify the code a little... Or I could be missing something and it could cause more problems than it would solve.

Again, just something I noticed that got me thinking.<

It uses the same message as any other problem with a post does.<

Hmmm. I'll have to look at that a little closer. The actual message itself isn't what I see as misleading - its the text in the link to go back. I'll have to look at the Sub in question when I get back to the house.<

It uses the 
sub Go_Result(str_err_Msg, boolOk)
in post_info.asp to determine the message that the user receives for that link.

I like the way that the World of Warcraft forums display the countdown on the actual post page (you can't submit until the timer has counted down).<
