Commenting Problems?

I've come across a problem in the commenting tool that will block a user from posting a comment due to 'comment throttling'. This really isn't a problem, its built into Movable Type to prevent comment spam. Unfortunately I don't know if any other users are being affected by this.

I'll try to correct the problem as soon as possible.

The error message is:
Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:

In an effort to curb malicious comment posting by abusive users, I've enabled a feature that requires a weblog commenter to wait a short amount of time before being able to post again. Please try to post your comment again in a short while. Thanks for your patience.

Please correct the error in the form below, then press Post to post your comment.
I've set ThrottleSeconds to 0 but that doesn't seem to help even after a restart of the server. Is the ThrottleSecond parameter even valid in Movable Type 2.661? Another suggestion was to ensure that the time zones were set to the same value if the server hosted several blogs. I corrected this as well but the error message still comes up even after a server reboot.

As a side question does the Movable Type application read the mt.cfg file on the fly or only once during startup?
