Protest!

If you protest against the 60 second rule, post.

I protest.

Re: Protest!

What are you going to get out of this? They're not going to get rid of the 60 second rule.

Say no to saying no to the sixty second rule.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Protest!

It doesn't bother me that often, so I say no. I like it when people suffer the 60 second rule

Re: Protest!

Why would you protest from the 60 second rule? First of all, unless you are in the TBGs, you're posts should take longer than a minute to write. Second of all, it gets on the nerves of commercial spammers. Besides, the New Scratchers have it worse! They have the 600 second rule!

Re: Protest!

Theres a great reason for this, it stops spammers/bots/spambots from posting 3000 things in like 10 seconds. Thats an easy way to hijack a forum, so I'd say it would be a good idea to just leave it in.

Re: Protest!

It isn't that annoying, unless you post faster than once per minute.

Yes, maybe you could re-read your post and add more info before posting. Basically, don't rush when posting.

Re: Protest!

It's really not that bad. I almost never run into it. I think just a day or two ago a bunch of people decided to always post at least 5 relevant sentences in their replies to make discussions more meaningful and to avoid the 60-second rule. I think putting more thought into your posts is a great way to avoid such a problem.
