Delays

I know its a security measure, but can we at least cut down the 30 sec delay between posts? Its a major pain for those who can actually type with more than one finger, especially when replying to PM's. 10 or 15 sec would be more than adequate, surely?

Post to test the delay from the reply button

EDIT

Delay is less than 4 seconds when using the reply button.

My tests are done using Chrome on a Win7 PC.

Perhaps people with non mod/admin accounts have longer delays? Could some people do some timings and report back in this thread please?

Hmmm. OK are you talking about the time BETWEEN making posts as opposed to the time it takes for posts to appear? The delay to stop people flooding the forum with posts?

That's the one, yes. Sorry I wasn't clear.

OK. It was 60 seconds. I've moved it down to 20 seconds. See how that fits for you.

Banning would be very abrupt for a small misdemeanor, how about a stern talking to.

Oh I don't know. A banning can be very cleansing.

Ta mate. We'll see if that stops the alerts.
