I would propose an alternative and suggest a cutdown on waiting times from 30 seconds to 15 or 20. It is not that hard to card membership if you really want to destroy a site though. Luckily FK does not have too many spammers/people promoting other sites, but with no post time someone could easily post 100 threads in the middle of the night without many people noticing. A cut down would be alright, but is it really that hard to wait 30 seconds?Day said:Maybe you're right, but some users would respect it. If it is abused, warnings should be given. I know many users that wouldn't take advantage of this, I sure wouldn't.

Another thing with the cutdown on wait time is that it only helps people spam their post counts up. You see all these threads/contests with members giving an item or award every 100-500 posts and it just makes the site look skiddy, not going to lie.
I would agree on cutdowns with ranks that require certain forum requirements (like power+), but I would not agree with them for onyx/power members. I wonder how successful this would be if implemented on site, would be interesting. If this was to happen I would suggest mods/admins pay close attention to the quality of posts by these members so they are just not completely raping their post count in order to boost their site image.Day said:I can agree on the time cut down, maybe 10 to 15 seconds instead of 15 to 20 seconds? You're right about the carding and what not, but I just don't think Power members or Power+ members would abuse the time floods.
Yeah, I agree with your point on those contests, they're stupid. Contest holders should be responsible and control their own thread and put 1 post per page on their requirements.
