I had a quick question about why there is a thirty second wait for posting in the forums after each time you post? It really doesn't make sense to me but I know someone will have to be Superman (cormyn most likely) and tell me the reasoning behind it.

It's mostly so people can't spam. A user can just repeatedly hit the submit button with spam posts for no reason other then to gain AP, and then a mod or admin is stuck with the job of cleaning up that spam. It usually takes more then 30 seconds to write something post worthy anyways.

master565 nailed it.

I know it can occasionally be a little annoying, but most often you should have spent those 30 seconds typing or reading the new thread you clicked into after posting in another.

Just look at another page for the half a minute.
