Shorter delay on sending PM's

I type fast, and I often get a lot of PM's...
I totally understand why there is a minimum delay between sending PM's, to prevent abuse... But I couldn't count how many times I've run into this problem, where I have legitimately typed out a full response to a PM I received, then go and try to reply to the next one, and get the error to wait longer. I've often left the PM inbox and just not bothered replying to people because I have to go back and forth and do something else in between.
Perhaps for war room members, or maybe even only for people who've submitted a WSO... or some other qualifying factor that would help make sure it's only people like myself who just type fast and get a lot of messages, properly trying to reply to them all...
That's been my one and only real point of frustration in the WF I think.

    I think there is too much room for abuse with lowering the delay on that.

    I would rather wait a little longer to send a message than give those who want to mess with the system an easier way to do it.

      Encourage people to contact you outside of the PM box instead. With anyone that I will likely continue conversation with or have future conversation with, I always tell them it's best to use Skype or give them an email.

      If it was to change, giving that privilege only to those who sell a WSO would be a lousy way to do it. Plenty come here to network, not just sell, for one thing and the act of selling a WSO doesn't make that person more trustworthy.

    Lower the threshold but have a spam notification system, if you get accused of spam after so many times you are either blocked from sending for a period of time (could be days or weeks) or permanently banned.

    I really want these restrictions lowered too. I find myself typing and answering the PM in nearly 10 seconds and waiting 110 seconds to answer another one. What I would recommend is putting this restriction to newcomers. However, if somebody has sent well over 1,000 private messages and hasn't been reported for abuse in any of them, then lower the restriction. I do agree that you can abuse this feature really easily, but if it's monitored and provided to only Warriors with good records, then I see no problem!
