Automatic Posting

What I mean by automatic posting is...
if you get the 60 second rule (or 180), and you have to wait, you can set it so that it will post automatically when the 60 or 180 seconds are over.

There should also be a way to turn this on and off.

How does this idea sound?

Re: Automatic Posting

I'm not really sure how do-able this would be but if it is possible then it would be cool.

Re: Automatic Posting

Good I guess. Maybe you click a button or check a (temporary) checkmark if you want to autopost?

Re: Automatic Posting

It could use something from Scimonster's "Wait __  more seconds") thing, and then isn't there a code that automatically presses a button?

Re: Automatic Posting

You can also make a browser extension that does it. Just use the setTimeout function in JS.

I guess that would be good, but sometimes you might want to not do it for one or two posts, without going back to profile.

Also, there should be a cancel post and edit in-case you get outposted.

Re: Automatic Posting

It could be abused, so that spam comes exactly every 60 seconds until a mod cleans it up.

Don't support.

A spammer could then just queue up a bunch of posts and walk away.

Limit a max queue length of 1.

Re: Automatic Posting

Bookmark this JavaScript code, then click it when you get the 60 second rule:

Code:

javascript:function%20foo()%20{document.post.submit.click();window.close();%20}%20a%20=%20setTimeout(foo,60000);%20alert("This%20will%20post%20and%20close%20after%2060%20seconds");
