Dear Forum
Dear forum:

You had us once with your 30 second posting rule.... you had us twice with a 60 second PM rule...... but now that you have changed yourself from 30 seconds to 120 seconds, a whole 2 minutes, I now, certainly, hate you.

If you were so kind enough as to die, I would be most graciously thankful.



Sincerely,
a friend to you,
Antago

Who cares.
I haven't found one problem with spam yet.... and I've created like 30 threads. =/

This is just dumb. Thirty seconds was perfect.



Even right now I am waiting at least another minute before I can post this reply...

Considering I only post something when I have something very valuable to say, this won't really affect me. I didn't even know about it.

The time limit would make roleplaying on the message board easier, actually, because you are less likely to miss other people's posts if there is a time limit.

two minutes? good god.

Everything done on these forums to make them "better" slowly pushes me further and further away from them. It's depressing.

Don't be so strict. Most of the staff on these forums have a horrible concept of what "spamming" really is.

These are PUBLIC discussion forums which users have PAID to use. We can talk all we want in a thread, it is not spam.

As I said to Mercury, spam is constant idiotic posting of just plain crap that's not worth reading.

As for the avatar/text bit, people don't, as you say, "spam" to get those. They simply "spam" because they like posting and they like chatting.

No offense, GodSpeed, but if you are going to enforce a "no spamming" rule with an iron fist, then, judging by your current definition of spam, the main forum is going to go to hell.

Illegal?
And do not remove this damn thread.

That 120 second thing is absolutely ludicrous. There is, virtually, no problem with spamming. None of us are going to lose sleep over spamming. It's not a big deal.
Ignore the spammers and get on with life. grrr

people spam because they're stupid
and that's it

the only thing to do is raise the limit so people can get it through their thick skulls not to spam
