Why has TD brought back that annoying 60 second wait rule between posts?

Maybe because they are sick of Scampi answering his own questions before anyone else has a chance?

[dirtydog]

it hasn't been brought back, to bring it back we would have to get rid of it which we have never done.

[kingwilly]

Fair point, but can they not just apply it to scumpy? why punish all of us !

oh, perhaps I am just typing faster than usual, I thought it was gone.

Can you chuck the 20 seconds between new posts searches while you're at it?

[Butterfly]

I agree with KW, that 60sec is highly annoying

make it down to 30sec

[Stinky]

I don't give a shit, my fingers are battered and numb so it rarely affects me, in fact can we raise it to 90 seconds

The general search function is shite on here esp. when the keywords have no matches and you have to start again but wait 20 seconds.

30 seconds between posts seems much better too

[kingwilly]

Looks like a majority posters want it, how about it DD ?

[StrontiumDog]

Yep, 30 would be better, thanks

[Stinky]

My fingers are still battered, swollen and numb, 60

[friscofrankie]

Three posters constitutes a majority?

[Stinky]

My fingers are fat mangled swollen gnarled and battered, that makes me disabled and I take priority so the rest of you will have to suffer.

Also I've now taken the time to post 3 times Frankie so that cancells you out

[PlanK]

Vocal minority, Frankie. That's the way the world's going these days. Those who whinge the loudest make the policy.


Now let's reduce those waiting times, this is a forum, not an NHS hospital.

[BigRed]

I think you shoud only be allowed 1 post every 20mins.

[Mr Brown]

I think you shoud only be allowed 1 post every 20mins.

No need, the traffic seems to have slowed down to that now anyway

[Marmite the Dog]

Three posters constitutes a majority?

Well, there's 21,046 members, so they're going to have to do better than 3.

[Begbie]

Yes but KingWilly is most of them so he does have a majority.

[Butterfly]

yes the silent majority is asking for 30sec,

anyway big fucking deal, why is it even an issue if it can please a few posters. Damn !!!

[lom]

The delay is there to give you enough time for a second thought before posting.
Use that time cleverly..

[slimboyfat]

I disagree with everything that KW said.

On any topic.

[Thetyim]

slimboyfat is a good poster

Well there you go then

[Stinky]

Now my fingers are battered, swollen, mangled, fat, gnarlled, bruised and arthritic, keep it at 60 seconds.

if we needed to think cleverly, we wouldn't come to TD to post
