I dont know if this has benn said yet but I was just thinking what if there could be a 15 second w8 instead of a 30 second w8.

I think that would really help in threads because there are so many people who cut each other off.

Flaming doesn't really help either, ParalysisTerror. It never really helps in any situation.

Would be good on "Commenting People" not forums,or news,or any other thing,ESPECIALLY,if your the person that has to reply to over 20 comments a day.ohh i also think people should be stripped the right of posting in ones owns profile.(Dont wanna create a new thread and it goes with this one)

THIS is a good suggestion. Man, that's how mew users get AP nowadays, I see it all the time too. But sadly, this is off topic.. If you want to discuss it Theone, go make a thread about it, and I'll gladly top it off for you =)

Anywhoo, a legitimate comment would have to be at or more than 30 seconds to complete, unless you were just answering a question or giving good feedback. Other than that, there shouldn't be any good reason to reduce the 30 second rule. Like I said in my first post, this can also lead to flooding the site, making the server slower, and possibly crashing the site, which we wouldn't want any of that.

It already doesn't take 30 seconds to recomment
just refresh 2-3 times and you can comment again o.O

If you count it is actually 30 seconds, might not seem like it.

It doesn't hurt to make a new topic.

I disagree with this idea. What I sometimes do, when I forgotton that I had the "30 sec" rule on, is I type what I'm going to reply. After I notice that the 30 sec rule is in place, then I cut all the text, refresh the page and paste it in, and post it. This would pass the time of the 30 sec rule.

As stated above, 30 secs is not long, and it is in place for a reason. TO stop spammers. if we make it less, then there would be more spam.

Also, if you write a comment that took you less than 30 secs to write, as stated above, it is most likely that its a spam comment. Not saying that all the comments are, though.

Also, if you cannot wait 30 seconds, do something else.



This is what I do.

30 seconds is suitable in fact I wouldn't mind 45...really. Maybe it would cut spam down way more than what we've been seeing. If AG did every lower it (which I doubt they ever well) I almost guarantee you'll see a huge rise in spam.

15 seconds, wow you are so determined for just 15 seconds less. NO WAY. This is a stupid idea it would only create more spam no questions asked. 30 seconds isn't much, and you don't need to text talk in the forums, unless you are using a phone to get on AG.

Oh but no!
This is the only way people can practice how to post images and delete their failed attempts!
And the only way I can make little notes of how far in the comments of my profile I have replied to...

But yes, off-topic.

I think it should actually be longer than 30 to slow spammers.
