It's pretty ridiculous I have to wait 99 seconds between each PM I send as Election Booth. Normally as eestlinc I don't have batches of PMs to answer at a time, but still. The delay used to be 60 seconds and that was annoying. 99 is horrible.
I understand the need to prevent mass spamming. Can you just make it so anyone who has been registered over a month (or a year, whatever) does not have a delay? This would still prevent people from registering just to spam with PMs.
Maybe the restriction can just be removed for EB?
I'm hoping that it is just a default setting that has been overlooked.
Changed it to 15 seconds. I hope that's okay. Unfortunately it's a forum-wide thing, not a user/usergroup thing, so we can't make it 0 for EB.
Thanks, BoB.
I probably send more PM's than I post replies to topics, so the 60-99 second delay was annoying me too.
Yeah, I noticed this 99 second thing (And previously 60) and found it irritating.
woohoo. 15 seconds is reasonable enough. although I did post this thread while waiting my 99 seconds...
Drop it to 0 for the elections, then crank it back up if it's being abused.
99 seconds later...
It is annoying, I will agree. :)
Are there really that many PMs flying around that it could be abused? Just a thought.
Yes, there is. :cool:Quote:

If anyof the staff does this I will start killing people!Quote:

99 seconds doesn't bother me. Mainly because it takes about that long for a PM to send for me. And I send a PM once every two weeks at the most.
I wouldn't know. I hardly get any PMs and when I do I'm usually more excited about it then I should be. =/Quote:
