If either of these things were true, it would explain why you got that message:

Less than 20 seconds between submitting two posts.
Less than 7 minutes between submitting five posts.

This is in place to make sure somone doesn't SPAM the forums.

My guess is that you either hit the "Post" button two times quickly in a row by accident, or you just post a lot.

To add to Adam's reply -

If you are greeting new members, for example, and doing the copy-n-paste routine (or are just a fast typist) in replying to each new member with the same text, the "little site gremlin in the corner" sees the same message multiple times, licks its chops and says "OH Goodie - a spammer is at it!" and zaps a message back at the "spammer" to let them know they've been "busted".

There aren't many times when a high speed internet connection is a bad thing, but this is one of them.

This has happend to me many times, and every time it has been while greeting the new members. I do use the "copy/paste" method.

I learned this lesson the same way you are, Larry!! Adam explained it the same way to me before.
