No Throttle? [Solved]

Postby Nicropolis » Tue May 03, 2016 7:07 pm

For issues, I selected no throttle to see what it was, what I expected to see was no new issues being sent. But it looks like I have 6 hours until I get an issue. If this is the case, why call it no throttle? I also noticed a vacation mode which makes it so that you don't receive any.

So, my question is, why call it no throttle at all? Why not call it 6 hours between issues like the rest on the list? Did I miss something? Also, with no throttle on, you will not get any more than 5 issues at a time, correct?

Thanks

"No throttle" means that issue speed is not throttled. Thus issues arrive at the default speed- 1 every 6 hrs. I'm not sure how you could read that as "no issues". As for why it's called what it is, that's just the way [violet] worded it. And yes, issues are still limited to 5 at a time. (The one exception is if you have one of your issue submissions accepted into the game. In that case, you instantly receive the new issue, even if you already have five issues.)
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

I think when that didn't exist, we got 2 issues a day. So this means we get 4.


Throttle means block. Blocking issues.
No throttle.


Yeah, vacation mode lasts 2 months ^.^
Stop giving misogynistic abusers a platform. Anyone who sides with Tiktok Star Andrew Tate even 1% of what he says will be treated as enemy who should be shamed out of society. Impressions+Views+Videowatches=$. Nothing he says is new or revolutionary. I don't care if he said "some good stuff", it's still bad because: the more you watch him, the more ad revenue MONEY and algorithm BOOSTS you're giving him to traffick victims. And don't say the victim lied, a young man stupidly told me that the victim confessed to lying, I told em to link me proof, articles or the Audio of her confession, he googled and found 0 proof 0 articles, and he realized he was spreading fake rumors he heard and BELIEVED without fact-check. Don't brand victims as liars without GOOGLING. Debated here

Yes, the max was 2 issues per day before, and the max now is 1 issue per six hours. That does mean four issues per 24 hours, but not normally four issues per day. It would be more likely to be on a schedule like 8 AM, 2 PM, 8 PM, 2 AM, 8 AM, etc. Due to the exact timing of the issue arrivals, only three issues are actually received in a midnight-to-midnight period, rather than four. In fact, four in a day would be very rare, requiring near-perfect timing to keep issues coming at around 12 AM, 6 AM, 12 PM, and 6 PM.

Sorry, that set off my nitpicker. Just wanted to clear that up.


2AM, 8AM, 2PM, 8PM

How is that not 4 in a midnight-to-midnight period?

Simple- it was late at night and I wasn't thinking properly. Nitpicking withdrawn.
