The Tough 180 Second Rule

When I was a new scratcher, it was even harder and tougher to post because it was a 360 second rule.

This post will give you some ideas on what to do when you have to deal with the dreaded rule. Here are some things I do-

-Open up a new tab and get another topic ready to post(I do this)
-Open up a new tab and answer/read messages
-Open up a new tab and look at the newest projects
-Open up a new tab and play the top viewed/loved games and animations
-Open up a new tab and talk to scratch friends
-Open up a new tab and remix some of the top remixed projects
-Open up scratch or an existing scratch project and start working on it
-Go to the TBG forums in another tab

What do you do?

I hope this helps!

Re: The Tough 180 Second Rule

I post, play with my dog a couple of minutes, then come back, and post.
In a way I like the 180 second rule, it gives me more time to think, more time to make my post better, and more time to be with my dog  tongue

The following errors need to be corrected before the message can be posted:
At least 180 seconds have to pass between posts. Please wait a little while and try posting again.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
tongue
Time to get the dog...  tongue

And usually I get on the TBG forums and post there, then come back here. And that cycle again and again  tongue  But sometimes the other things above  tongue
Imma rambling.


With a straight flush.

FAIL: The New TBGers have the same rule so no vice-versa.

Where does he say vice-versa? O_o
And they have a different rule, 180 instead of 60... I don't understand what you're saying...  hmm

There's no need to be rude... I don't see what's incorrect about his statement - since the TBG's are a separate forum, I believe you could post there even when you still have to wait to post here, and vice-versa.

Re: The Tough 180 Second Rule

I was a new TBGer only a week ago, now I'm a TBGer, after regular checking, but nothing major, seems like TBG status goes faster?

Well nobody can deny that you're active all around the main site, so I'm not surprised  smile

Re: The Tough 180 Second Rule

I've been for a week, posted already almost 200 times and I'm still a New TBGer e.e
But I won't complain, I didn't know it was faster, I though it would still take a month or more  tongue

Re: The Tough 180 Second Rule

You could also try this:

Post on regular forums.
Post on TBG.
It should be 180 secs by then.

Re: The Tough 180 Second Rule

I've never really encountered a problem with this rule, but that is because I don't post very much, but thanks for the tips! I will use some of them when I do have to wait to post again.
