@noob404 here's an advice if you are using an automated script for comments you might get banned without any warning

What makes you think I am using an automated script? I have been manually copy pasting stuff from websites. Infact, I have been going through most facts to make sure there's no repetition.

The time taken to post exactly 4 posts in a minute, it's a huge red flag if you know what i mean.

C'mon man. This is what I am doing to avoid the 5 posts/minute limitation. I am manually copying each fact posting 4 in a minute and then I start the timer manually, then wait for it to complete before posting the next 4.

Just curious, why targeting just me? Don't you see other members as well?

I ain't targeting anyone, I just informed you as there were similar cases last year as well. Just a friendly piece of advice.

LOL, I was using a watch with a second hand for last years NY thread. I guess I am old.

I am more like reading, copying, pasting, checking, and it takes more time IG.

To save some some time while posting, I usually have the facts prepared a day before. It is more time consuming, I know, but, the posting becomes faster and I can try to avoid repetition as much as possible. All this doesn't save me any time for studies. I am just hoping the paper setter decides to post questions from this thread. LOL! If that happens, I'd prolly set the highest score.

What exams are we talking about?

I thought I had mentioned this. Might have missed it. I am gonna give you a clue - Exams that are a minimum requirement for getting married in India.

That should be a good one. Glad I did not need to take an exam to get married.

LOL! It's not what you think it is. The Indian society, in most cases sets a high bar for grooms, who are supposed to have stable government jobs. Thus, the answer is Government exams.
