Users could have written their spam messages in a notepad and just copy 'n' paste it and spam without problem... I don't find this useful

Yeah. You are writing worthless spammy shit messages (or you are copy&pasting spam) if the cooldown annoys you. Assembling a decent message takes longer than 10 seconds in at least 90% of all cases.

I'm still testing this though. I'll see if it annoys me as well. In that case something must be wrong. It's possible that I'll tweak the timings on that or that I remove it completely.

Most people will have to copy & paste it from anywhere....... or edit their comments always because they didn't have time to write the full message.

... what the fuck? This thing does NOT limit the time you have to type your message. It gives you a minimum time that has to expire before you are able to submit your message. You can take as much time as you want to write your message.

It really wouldn't make any sense to limit the time that people have to type their stuff!

So when you click the reply button and say you copy/paste your message you have to wait 10 seconds? I don't get it, isn't this just the same as after you post a comment you have to wait 45 seconds but instead you have to always wait when you reply? Makes no sense to add it really. If someone spams then he will have to wait 45 seconds anyway, and the 10 seconds will go down as well as the 45 meaning this has no use at all (To stop spammers).

I might be wrong as I don't entirely get it.

Yes, this way you always have to wait (if you're a spammer - otherwise you will need that time anyway to write your post), even if it is your first post. The other spam protection (for subsequent posts) is still built in as well (but I changed it. It will not stop you from beginning to write. It will only stop you when you press the send button - this way you can now instantly start to write the next post after writing something else).

Just a little nice addition to make spamming here even more annoying. Also the timer is much higher if you try to reply in old threads (a thing that those stupid little spam kids obviously love to do).

No, because shorter posts do make perfect sense in some cases. Further restrictions are not necessary at the moment.

It's 10 seconds dude. You also need time to think about the post and to hit the button. Did you have to wait for the cooldown alread? I didn't. So it's fine.

Make it longer for threads? I don't see any reason anyone would have to make multiple threads in minutes..other than spamming.
