Nope, that's way too much
The average amount of posts is like 500 not counting those 3 with like 5k posts
600's a good number

But they'd need to wait 600 minutes to do that
That's like... .........

A long time

You are not really waiting a minute for each post because it probably takes about a minute after your last post to write up a response. Actually now that I think about it this seems like it could be abused by users with high post counts by letting them make an unnecessary 10+ posts a minute.

So, if you have 2 tabs open and want to reply to topics in them, you'll get 60secsrule immediately. This happened on TGB.

It could be like a secret so that new members wouldn't know and spam 

Archmage: Takes me around 30 seconds to write a response. o.O

Maybe 2000 posts? People that try to spam there way up there would; 1. Be banned before that happens or 2. Would be wasting hours or more every day just trying to get a 30 second privilege. They should waste about a month, or longer, just trying to get one privilege. I think they'll be banned before they get anywhere near 2000 posts even 1000 posts. But safer then sorry? o.O

Archmage: *cough* 1000 * 60 = 60000 = 60000 minutes of waiting. Which who knows how long that is, cause the wait 60 seconds is for the spam bot *cough*

I think 1000 posts might be enough. Maybe raise it to... ( How many posts do I have? ) maybe 1750 posts. ( Hope that's higher than how many posts I have... )

Edit: Oh, I have 1800+ posts.

that's way off. 1000 posts in 60 seconds each is 1000 minutes, which is about 14 hours. what you said amounts to 3 days.

You can quote multiple posts at the same time with the

Quote tags 

I say 1500.

Yeah, 500 is suitable for everyone. And then, if you spam after that, you get the privelege revoked. Why hasn't anybody like Paddle2See reliied yet? I'd think this would be somthing big that they'd want to cover.

Somtimes, when I start a thread, and it has multiple replys that I need to reply to, the 60 second rule gets in the way.

Just put it all into one post.

When discussing the number on which the rule disappears, keep in mind not to set it by your own post count - think about what's suitable for everyone.

I say 500.

Agreed.

Speaking of which, how many posts do I have?
(goes up to top)

Sorry, but:

1. It's going to encourage spamming.
2. Someone could always act normal, and when they reach the amount they go spamming...
3. Some person with a high post count could get hacked, and...
4. People may not spam, but they may post useless posts to get to the amount.
5. People may think of themselves superior to the people with less posts than the amount (this may sound silly, but I'm being serious here).
6. It just feels wrong to give privilages to people with higher post counts. Doesn't anyone agree?

Anyway, my choice for the amount is 500; it's easy for users and enough to annoy the hackers.
