 * Hi there. A friend of mine made a comment and when he went to try a new comment
   like ten minutes later, he received this message –
    Sorry, you can only post 
   a new comment once every 10 seconds. Slow down cowboy. Any reason why this would
   be happening? I am currently using version 1.2

 * Same here. I wanted to test the comments on my blog for myself, and whenever 
   I try to post a comment, it gives me this:
    “Sorry, you can only post a new comment
   once every 10 seconds. Slow down cowboy.” But it was my first time even posting
   a comment. Even so, I waited well over 10 seconds and went back to try again.
   It keeps giving me the same message. Is there anyway to fix this?

 * Quick search for the term “Slow down cowboy” found this:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/3/14976](http://wordpress.org/support/3/14976)
   Is that a possible solution ?

 * Ohh! Yay! Thank you very much! ^_^
    Yea, I was messing with the time and date
   thing before, so that might have affected it.
