Let's lower the time between sending PMs

by Jason Kanigan

I often have several PMs to answer at once and it is too long to have to wait two minutes between each. I type quickly and am usually done preparing my response well before the two minutes is up. Then I have to sit there frustratedly clicking every 20 seconds until the limit expires.

Can we lower this to 60 seconds? I understand we're blocking spammers, but surely one minute does the job just as well as two.

    Jason, I think if you search this thread, you will find similar requests.

    Frustrating, yes.....I don't know if the mods are tying to remedy this, or where the issue stands right now.

    I imaging with your fundraising efforts for Tim Pears, you could really use a break.

    Lets hope there is a solution that can best benefit everyone.

    I totally agree with this. I don't know if it can be set up where people have to have 50 posts before it applies. That could solve the spammer problem I think.

    I never noticed there is a 120 sec time frame between each PM.

    Either I'am too slow or busy doing other things to worry about Timing and when I click send it says wait 5 secs, that's acceptable

    I second that. Sometimes I want to ask for samples but I have to resort to PM. I prefer to post messages on the forum so others can also benefit from my questions.
