There should really be a "Site Comment/Suggestions" forum. Anyway thats not
what this topic is about. Many people in the past have *****ed about it, but
now I am too :p

After realizing how annoying it is...
The waiting period before you can make another post is TWO WHOLE MINUTES.
Also to run searches you can only run 1 search every 60 seconds... Why?!
There is no possibility of Spam through a search, there shouldn't even be a
time limit there! ...

Anyway, just giving my two thoughts :p Haveth a nice day

seems like you dont know much about webserver n stuff ... everytime someone seaches the whole sql database needs to be checked ... and that pretty much when you got a huge forum! a server has limits, too ... its not a supercomputer...
and the posting time lock is fine, too ... if it were shorter you could spam the forums rapidly.

Im pretty sure someone could spam the forums per two minutes, I notice
that the Admins aren't around that much during the morning, pretty much I've
only realized this when I lost my phone line. But atleast a minute could be
descent enough.

Both limits are fine as they are. You don't "need" to post more often than once every two minutes, and there is no need to search more than once per minute.

Because in all fairness, most of the time it should take at least 2 minutes from the time you post one comment until the time you go into another thread, READ the thread and then comment on it.

Acctually, no, thats the reaon why I made this topic, because I posted in one
thread but by the time I got to the other one, and read the following messages
after my previous post in that topic, I tried to reply but was forced to wait
about a whole minute.
