{Resolved} Private Messaging

[Prime]

Not too sure if this is really an issue or anything. Maybe it's just me thinking too much of it, idk.

Is there a possibility to decrease the amount of time one has to wait to send a private message after sending one prior? Like...if you were to send a PM, and another PM comes in, and you wanted to respond, I get a "you must wait 60 seconds to respond". I'm not saying it should be completely taken off, but a possible decrease would be pretty cool.

I remember back when it was 2 minutes. That sucked.

Stuff like that is usually set in place to prevent spamming, I think.

That is exactly the reason. odd thing is, it's gone up and down a couple of times since I've been here.

Never noticed it myself, and don't think it's anything to fuss over. If it takes one minute or two to send/answer a message that seems fair to me. When the server does it's auto-backup routine in the early morning then all kinds of things are noticeable. I have never even seen the 60 seconds message before myself.

Re: Private Messaging

Common, guys, one minute is not that long. I know that for people with fast typing skills, 1 minute seems like a very long time.

Would you rather I shorten the wait to 30 seconds or less?

If we drop under 30 seconds, spam could become a problem in your private message boxes.

EDIT: I shortened the time to wait between private messages to 30 seconds

Re: Private Messaging

Oh I didn't mean it for something to fuss about. It was merely an observation if anything. It's probably my own fault for observing considering I type far too quick for my own good.

No fuss at all, P & C.


Let's see if the new wait of 30 seconds is a problem before we make any fuss

Re: Private Messaging

I think 30 seconds will work perfectly Magic

You could take a break and a trip to the loo or get a glass of water. The exercise will do you good
