But I think the reason behind the 30 second post rule thing is that it prevents too many accidental double posting of the same message.
You know like if you have a trigger happy index finger and press the Send button twice, one post will be sent, where as the other won't, unless you press it again after 30 seconds.
So you see, I believe that there is a good reason behind it. It can be annoying at times, but at least it is now 30 seconds, and not 1 minute like it use to be, seemed to take freakin' ages when waiting for a whole minute.

at least they should make it 5 seconds.

you can't post more that once in 1 min, not 30 minute or 30 seconds! ah if I posted once every 30 minutes i would be really bored here!

The 1 minute rule was annoying, but the 30 second rule isn't that bad really. It keeps people from accidently double-posting and it isn't that long of a wait. So I say keep the rule.

I'm sure that the only people who would actually complain about a post threshold are spammers and board rioters, and their opinions really don't have much weight.

Also they make it this way so that newbies don't post in every single thread they see!

If that happens then everyone will go crazy and people will be making random stuff to get up their post count.
