I think that the 30 second wait period on commenting
on games should be removed. If its designed to prevent
people from making the same post way more then once, it
doesn't help. 30 secs isn't long enough. So, why not
just get rid of the waiting period? If there's going to
be one I humbly suggest making it longer. Otherwise, if
its going to be 30 secs long do away with it. Anyone who's
patient enough WILL wait to post multiple comments on
the same game.
That's just what I think. Tell me what you think!

I agree, but how about a 10 sec. lag?

The only place it should be disabled is on forums with no AP granted for posting.

People will spam so much.
These are the guys who click on a game, rate a random number, write 'Epic game!' or 'Cool, 10/10.', click Back, choose another game, do the same.

It's good that you must wait 30 seconds before commenting again.

Repeating what almost everybody said: People will spam a lot in order to get AP. If you make a suggestion to add more mods, well, AG is backed up already. You could wait until AG3 comes out because it'll have a stronger security system, and if you're like most people, it takes 30 seconds to type your post anyways. I have no problem with the current system.

At least make it 45 seconds so its a bit longer because if your posting a genuine comment then should it matter about the wait.

Merits are rewards for making geniune comments. Also is spam not very rewarding but it is also very annoying in the forums. And the game comments would look like:

Bob wrote: Great (8/10)

Sue wrote: Bad (2/10)

Bob wrote: Good (8/10)

Lisa wrote: Bad (3/10)

Bob wrote: (2/10)

Lisa wrote: Great (10/10)

Emily wrote: What is with all of this spam?

what if someone made a comment and misted something but they have to wait and might forget what they wanted to say.....so in other words it dose not help


Then they can type what they want to say in the box, copy it, refresh the page, and paste it when the submit button comes back.

I agree, but how about a 10 sec. lag?


No. That's 12 AP a minute just from commenting. That means you can get over 2000 points in 3 hours. Do you really want chatspamming to be taken to the next level?

We will not change the 30-second pause between forum posts. It's there for a reason.
