Less than 60 seconds between PMs

[KerokeroCola]

This suggestion is simple but would immensely help some of us "market-fags." I, myself, get about 20-40 PMs a day (some high-traffic days can see me with 50 or more), and I send out at least 15, every day. That's 15 minutes of waiting for my PM timer to get down to zero.

Anyway: I'd like to see $xx donors able to bypass the 60-second PM spam limit. I'd be fine with 30 seconds as a reasonable compromise between spamming and practicality.

support, i have the same problem when i have multiple PM's and by the time i finish 2 PM's i alreaddy got a reply from my 1st guy...it gets pretty frustrating and hard to keep organized and stay on track.

I agree, though I'm not a market fag, I can entirely see how the wait can be annoying and given the bypass having a donor prerequisite, any potential abuse has been accounted for.

Support.

I personally don't need it however, for those who have a store and are active in the market will get more PMs then others. So I fully support your suggestion as that could get annoying at times.

5$+ donators should get get 10 seconds.

If there isn't a time on it, you can accidentally double click = spam.

I support what I've stated above.

Support. 60 seconds is extremely long when you're trading with several people at once via PMs.

Also, many of my PMs are sent in one block. I'll log in from a night's rest and see 10 new PMs, and 8 of them will be worth replying. This would just make a lot less of a headache for these moments. We'd all appreciate 60 dropping as low as possible.


@Lym, 10 seconds might be a bit low. Unless I'm mistaken, PMs have a little more server load than normal posts do, so they should at least have just as strict of spam filtering as posting does.

Support, though I don't know if vBulletin supports this (esp. this older version).

Support, 60 is VERY annoying.

Yeah, this is the only potential problem I can see. Mods don't have a timer, but maybe it can only be eliminated and not just reduced. Hope not.

No Support. This time limit is set to avoid spam.
If there would be no limit, Bots/Spammers could easilty go through every member and send him a spammy message.

That's why it would be for donators.

Pretty sure bots wont donate, just so they can spam.

Its very annoying when I go through my PM's responding to them and have to wait...

Then it should be for xxx$ Donators.

Support , you should also have a option to turn pm "off"

 

[Time To Buy]

Support, when I was pming people about my free names, it was REALLY annoying to wait so long between pms (I had to send twenty...). I think $5 donators should have it reduced to 45 seconds and $50 donators should have it reduced to 30 seconds.

 

[Bl0w Ranq]

Support, it should be reduced to ~30 seconds.
I have the same issue, it's quite annoying, and a minute wait is pretty useless.

you should also have a option to turn pm "off"

I can't imagine why you would turn it off?
If it's annoying, just ignore the PM's.

 

[JohnK]

I support this for a donator-only perk.

 

It would be a nice donator perk. Maybe for $25+ ($25 doesn't have anything special).

 

[WeRnIE]

Maybe for all Donators to 40-45 Seconds.
