Title: 20s limit
Post by: DorkeyDear on June 17, 2008, 12:09:48 pm: The 20 second limit should not apply when posting, and then PMing somebody right afterwards.
For some scripts from requests, I PM the person a link to the topic I just created, which I can't sense I have to wait...

Post by: Laser Guy on June 17, 2008, 06:11:03 pm: He could have just posted something and then went to PM someone with a short message, couldn't he?

Post by: Psycho on June 18, 2008, 03:00:36 am: I agree, it seems pretty unnecessary to have to wait to send a PM.

Post by: Hair|Trigger on June 18, 2008, 03:54:45 am: Why is it there anyway?Â getting rid of it would just mean more excuses to ban people for trying to spam tonnes of messages ;)

I totally agree.. It's 20 seconds, nothing to complain about. Adjust matey! Adjust ;)

Post by: Psycho on June 18, 2008, 05:43:51 am: Its not the time span that I react on. Its the idea of having to wait a set time period before you send a personal message. I just find it pointless.

There was this forumer once, "duriel" I think his name was.. or something. He kept on spamming me up with PM's that had nothing in them.. I blocked him, and it took care of the problem. But it was still annoying to have to delete half a million posts, as well as while it lasted. If the 20 second thing hadn't been there at the time, he could've spammed me even more!

Do not remove it.

Post by: Psycho on June 18, 2008, 03:03:40 pm: But this is not about removing delays between PM's. Just delays between a regular post and a PM ;)

Post by: a-4-year-old on June 18, 2008, 06:22:54 pm: pm's that just say :D are annoying, if those 20 seconds will prevent some nub from sending them, great.

How about something useful, like a block list for pm's...

Post by: mxyzptlk on June 18, 2008, 09:27:38 pm: Already in place, 4-y-o. Investigate.

I agree about the wait between posts and PMs being pointless.

Woah, guess I was a little slow that day :P In this case, I agree!

If you want to go digging through the source code of SMF and tell me what change to make such that the two don't interfere, by all means please do. I don't feel like spending my time doing this just because one person wants to be able to send PMs immediately after posting.
