Just to be off-topic for a moment...

Faulkner, "flooding" is when you enter one post onto the forum and then reply to the same topic within a specified timespan - I'm guessing, in this case, the timespan is set to 5 minutes. If you try and do this, the program running the forum won't allow the post because it's within the limit and therefore seen as flooding.

It's just there to stop people from making multiple posts (either innocently or maliciously) and thereby clogging up the forums when one post is adequate (and can be edited by the poster)

...as you were...
