Make the new scratcher in-between posts shorter
Make it like 2 or 3 minutes instead. 6 minutes is buzzare!!! How is pythonlibrary supposed to post with a 6 minute in-between! Please make it shorter.

The time limit was imposed to prevent damage by spammers. Putting a limit on new scratchers gives mods a chance to react before a ton of threads get spammed.
We have a time thing too, but 6 minutes is horrible!!!

So you'd rather have the forums get spammed by spammers who can post faster?
And so there'd be more spammers and the 6 minute rule will be in place again.
Or worse, it would be back to the original 1000 second rule.

Back in June, when they first introduced the New Scratcher rule.
I do agree that 6 minutes is too long, as even just 3 minutes would slow spammers down considerably. Either way, though, it's up to the Scratch Team to decide how much is reasonable.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
