Yes it is a new rule. And it is to prevent spamming. So please do not complain about it.
I am now on hiatus from moderating due to my thesis.

Maybe with those three extra minutes people may think better their posts before hitting the "Post reply" button... This is not abig deal, specially since people should be reading the whole posts on a thread before posting... I guess that will mean no more "I agree" replyies...

I won't complain any more...... although it is a little annoying...
But I think 3 mins is a tad too long... once I've written a comment, I just wait till that 3 mins is up ^__^"
But, if this is a new policy,then I'll follow quietly (Euna ish a good girl =_=' )- Jan 03, 2005

i agree with GallComp that when you have more time you'll write a better review but i dunno if you still have something to say after a *minute* of writing.
i think it's a good idea just a bit too long. ^^"

Although I agree that there is good reason for the delay, regardless I think that 3 minutes is too long. Two minutes seems to be a lot better of a number to me.

sadly this makes minitokyo a little bit less fun with all the limits and stuff =/.. i think.. but on the other hand it makes the site a bit more serious ^^, so i'm ok with it i guess. Tho i must agree that it's annoying at times XD. Besides 3 minutes is long =/ but ok... to make time go faster we could listen to some nice music, neh? ^_^. *put's on ddr mixes*

of a number to me.Consider this. In general, the forums are cluttered with frivolous threads on frivolous topics with frivolous replies. Rather than engaging in any kind of moderately intelligent or insightful discussion, many of our members, especially newer ones, are focused on flooding the forums with posts in order to gain as many levels as they can with as little effort as possible.
If this discourages that type of behavior, then I would consider it a great success. Does it inconvenience those of us who do not spam? To an extent, it does. I've certainly lost a number of my posts because I submitted before the three-minute rule, but now that gives me an opportunity to read through what I've written to make sure that I've drafted something coherent and cohesive.
Remember that the acceptance of restraints is the mark of a civilized society. Here, by detracting from the individual ability to flood the forums, the moderators benefit the community as a whole by keeping down the clutter and helping to temper the prevalent level-driven attitude of many of the newer members. Thus I applaud the moderators in taking this step to stem the tide, and hope that they continue their work of trying their best to improve this community.

I have no objection to the time limit, but I lose my text if I post early. imho, it would be much more friendly to display the same page, retaining your text, but with a warning in red.

I've almost stopped writing posts altogether.
I just write a post and choose not to write any for the next 2 or 3 gallery entries.
I'm not gonna wait 3 minutes. If the objective of this new rule is for me to post fewer comments, fine. I'll do that.- Jan 03, 2005

You seem to be taking this in an awfully personal way. If you do not want to wait, then post less. This feature is absolutely necessary for the site anyway.

Thanks gkff! As for shinsengum's remark:Quote by shinsengumiJust select all (ctrl-a) and copy (ctrl-c) before you

I'm already doing that, and in my opinion it's a poor workaround. My suggestion stands, with all due respect =)- Jan 04, 2005

Oh, I agree on the fact that flooding/spamming needs to be deterred. No question the decision to limit the amount of posts one is able to make to one every so often is a good one. However, I also think this deters rule abiding members from posting, especially with losing their text. (On that note, I think Chip's idea is a great one.) I just think that a compromise of 2 minutes instead of three would prevent pure spammers, while keeping other members happy.Then again, if it were originally 2 minutes, someone would probably be complaining that it should be one.

I understand it is to prevent spamming but couldn't you just lower the time a little
(to like 1 min. or 1 min. 30 sec.)?My love, my dream, and you.
I won't let those go no matter what.- Jan 04, 2005
