    PM 99 second delay

    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.

    Drop it to 0 for the elections, then crank it back up if it's being abused.

    Are there really that many PMs flying around that it could be abused? Just a thought.

    I think a 24-hour delay on private messaging would be hilarious, myself.

    I agree with Bleys.

    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.
