An improvement to the "60 (or 120 in some cases) seconds rule" [All support so far!]

red_king_cyclops

You know that you have to wait a certain amount of time between each post you make, right? This is known as the “60 seconds rule” or the “120 seconds rule” if you are a New Scratcher.

There should be a countdown timer displaying how long you have to wait until you can post again. This timer should be visible by the message box where you write your post.

This suggestion would be a handy feature, even if unnecessary.

I wait for like a minute after a post tells me that I have to wait for 60 seconds, and more than a minute later, I click submit, and then it said, “You need to wait 60 seconds”. How am I supposed to know if I really waited those 60 seconds or not? See, this would be useful enough!

Support. The only thing I'm worry about here is the amount of server power it might need.

No support, mostly because I think it is unnecessary.

No support for this reason. Maybe it can tell you the number of seconds whenever you reload the page so it doesn’t have to constantly update that time?

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who know binary and those who don't. “And those who think they do but are still waiting on 8 more people.” (Sigton).

Support! It would be best to show this across the entire forum section, so you can still see your countdown while looking at another topic.

Check out Life Raft Survival, my new advanced sandbox survival game with crafting, building, transportation, weather events, tropical storms, and more!

In the game you're stranded at sea after a mysterious crash and must survive in an unforgiving tropical island environment collecting resources and crafting, in an attempt to finally be rescued.

Saying “it's unnecessary” without a reason is not a valid way of not liking this idea.

That's for 120 seconds, not both 60 and 120.

Just saying.

Yes it is. Saying “it's unnecessary” shows that we don't need this.

But how is it unnecessary? How are the advantages bad? Other users might not think the same, so how are we supposed to believe you?

oh, alright then. However I would like to hear why you think this isn't needed.

Thank you. I don't think the idea is so specific that an extra thread to mention that there's a 60 second timer too is really necessary.
