I'm not quite certain when or how this anti-technology was applied but at some point in my hiatus there appears to have been some bizarre witchery applied to the forum which serves no other purpose than TO PREVENT YOU FROM POSTING. Now for most of you this is probably a good thing. For myself this poses a bit of a conundrum. You see... Forums are for posting on.
Let that sink in for a minute. Indeed they are not only for posting on or "making posts" in the common vernacular, but sometimes people can reply back and a two way dialogue occurs. Over times, if you are careful, a COMMUNITY may appear. All of the above are a reason to have forums. I'll tl;dr that to make it simple:
REASONS FOR A FORUM
- MAKING POSTS
- FOSTERING 2 WAY COMMUNICATION
- COMMUNITY BUILDING
How can one accomplish any of the above in anything remotely resembling an engaging fashion with a 5 minute timer between posts? I've seen throttle limiters and they make sense in many cases but never in all my forum travels have I come across a more heinous reversal of purpose than a 5 minute limiter. I basically need to make a post and set an egg timer before I can reply to another. Not a short timer either, so now I may even be out of the mood, which again is a problem. The idea would be to hook people and KEEP THEM ENGAGED. Not to allow them to make one post then go boil water or whatever before they can continue another thought.
So, my query to anyone who has not committed the atrociously unforgivable offense of trying to reply to this thread after having made a post in the past five minutes is this... What do you do to optimize your posting? I'm looking for pro tips only as obviously the normal posting rules of EVERY OTHER FORUM ON THE INTERNET do not apply here so I will need to take it to the eve community.
Do you post, boil a cup of tea, post, cook a bowl of soup, post?
Do you perhaps post, go make a couple posts on a normal forum, post?
Please, help a brutha out here.

Wow, first I'm hearing of this. Glad to hear you are so involved in our forum community that you are right on top of issues the second it happens.
Originally by: CCP Whisper So you're going to have to do some actual thinking with regards to hull components and their capabilities instead of copying some cookie-cutter setup. Cry some more.

Strange... one would the the Science and Trade Institute would be the first to know about something of this nature given your standing in New Eden.

Goons are bad at everything but posting. We need this!
Also, we're bad at posting.

In a pinch (or after a long day of posting) substitute "Think of the Children!" for step 2.
Hope this helps! o/
