  Old  60 second PM limit

Can we get this removed? Lowered?

I understand it's to keep spamming down via PM, so how about have it set lower for members with 200 posts?

I send/receive 15-30 PMs every day; clicking send and seeing "wait 49 seconds" is really annoying and a total waste of time.

I agree with this one, I don't know if it's possible to set for just members with over a certain amount of posts but if it is then I don't see why we can't give it a try

1,000 is a little too high I think 200 or 400 should be just fine.

Just checked my vbulletin. You can't set it to a certain user group- it would apply to all user groups.

It's possible, we have it over at iWEBTOOL, I'll ask what mod / how they did it.

I don't see the harm in the limit, it generally takes me longer than 60 seconds to send out a PM. The only instance it takes less is copy/pasting the same thing to multiple people, but you can send to more than one person anyway.

If it's a genuine annoyance to some members, I also don't see the harm in lowering the time to 5 or 10 seconds... it'll prevent double-submitting the PM but allow for quick-fire messages.

I agree with this - lowering it to around 10 seconds sounds pretty good to me...
