    Post time limit should be reduced to 5 seconds, long enough to save you from double posts when you lag but short enough to not stop you from quickly replying to multiple posts.

    There's a reason the delay is here.
    People who spam the forums could post repeatedly, giving everyone unnecessary alerts. They may be warned and banned, but until they are, they can spam the forums.
    Not a good idea, in my opinion, unless you can think of a solution for spammers.

    Well, even with the timer, they can still spam, so that really isn't much help anyways... Because really, the timer won't stop a spammer, they can just wait it out.

    But yeah, I like this idea!

    They spam a lot less with the delay.
    In addition, if you're having forums or internet lag, the delay can prevent you from accidentally double posting.

    There are not a lot of forum spammers around, i don't think it will be a huge problem.

    This.
    It has saved me several times.
    Without the delay, as said before, there would be less spam, and a lesser chance of you accidently creating a double post.

    I wouldn't say remove it, but maybe shorten the duration?

    It was already shortened though. It used to be like 30 seconds, now it's only around 10.

    Personally the post limit doesn't bother me at all, it doesn't stoop me from posting and is useful against't spammers so I think it would be better to keep it.

    Yes so it's easier for spammers to ruin the forums

    Very few people spam the forums, it is very easy to just ban them.
    Either way they will spam the forums, a longer time limit will just slow them down.

    Very few? Lol.

    The point is that anyone can come on with a bot and spam hundreds of threads within a matter of around 15 minutes

    Do you really think a 10 second post limit is going to stop people spamming the forums? :I

    If someone is coming onto the forums with the intent of spamming it do you really think they would give up because of a 10 second post limit? :I
    Reducing the time limit to 5 seconds will do a ****load more good than bad.

    Explain how two times more spam is better than an accidental double post
