Oh, something just occured to me.

Dom, is it possible to remove that wait timer to people who have made a substantial amount of posts?  Like, remove the timer to people over 100, or 250 posts?

This could encourage others to posts; possibly a good and bad thing.

Either way, having no boundries to those of us who've already proven we're not here to send porn in a site message (A struggle most of us have to endure every day) could be done, couldn't it?


Picky bastard aren't you  :lol:

I hate the idea of having to wait in order for me to post my snappy retort.

It loses it's appeal.   :|

Same as the old spam people pissed people off, this one will to!  Having said that, I don't have a better plan of action!

We've been deluged with complaints, and it was necessary to reassure people that the problem was solved. Let's hope it is.

Sorry, the 90 seconds can only be universal. But I've every confidence that a reply posted after a minute and a half can still be perfectly witty.

If people would just learn to type with one finger, you would never notice a 90s delay (like me)  :lol:

Hey Dom, would it be alright if you knocked it down to 45 seconds?

That'll stop the spammers, and make it alright for us.

Thanks Dom.  I'm just a newbie, but I certainly appreciate not being deluged with spam, even if it's only in one small corner of my electronic life.

ugh.i just got hit with the 90 second whammo. what a pain in the arse. any chance of a reduction?

anyway, how does the 90 second whammo stop guys like asian choadboy from blessing us with his manhood via email? sure, it'd stop those nongs advertising viagra in every thread that'd been created since adam was a boy, but surely Mr Hung Kok Not's effort was the result of a web crawler or just a really bored pervert?
