Rilwar BlackStar Industrial	Posted - 2009.09.11 15:09:00 - [1] I'm curious as to how many people have drastically slowed, or simply stopped posting because of the 5 minute timer. Note that this is not a whine, or a stealth troll, but a serious question. I ask because I've been afk for about a week, and I came back to this new timer. It seems to me that the "quality" of the posts on the forums as well as the quantity has decreased dramatically. Normally I'll browse like 2 category's at once and possibly be replying to 2 threads at once, but now I've just become discouraged after making 2 posts. tl;dr for the uber tl Are you no longer posting because of the new timer? ------------------------------------------------- Mitnal was here.
Khemul Zula Amarr Keisen Trade League	Posted - 2009.09.11 15:17:00 - [2] The extra step needed to bypass the timer has not drastically slowed me down.
Creepy Goat	Posted - 2009.09.11 16:09:00 - [3] Edited by: Creepy Goat on 11/09/2009 16:09:30 I had to wait 5 minutes to post this. Also, half the wityy comments you may think of when reading a thread will already be stolen byt the time you can post again You must choose wisely on which threads you post, lest you miss an excellent trolling opportunity. edit spelling fail

Myra2007 Shafrak Industries	Posted - 2009.09.11 16:28:00 - [6] Yes, whenever I get that timer I cancel my post and thats that for me. I can see why they did it and realistically hardly anyone will miss my posts so its not a big deal. But its not really the way it should work. The real problem is that they do not have 24/7 moderation. We've all seen keylogger links all over the forum staying there for several hours. A 5 minute timer really doesn't cut it if there is no active moderation. They have offices all over the world - timezones would not be an issue. -- Originally by: Professor Slocombe I will only buy tickets if the prize is your stuff and you leave Eve. Forever. You irritating self obsessed cretin.
Jane Fatale	Posted - 2009.09.11 16:35:00 - [7] Not being one to question the wonderful and brilliant folks at CCP - I gotta say, this has got to be one of the stupidest "band-aid" fixes I've ever seen. It doesn't solve the real problem, and the solution is FAR more annoying then the original problem ever was. I used to come here, read around a bit, make 3-4 posts and leave. 5 minute operation. Now it'd take me 15-20 minutes to do this... I'm not sitting here for 15-20 minutes waiting to post.

It's good to be back btw. Ah ***, did I really want to waste my post on this topic? Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav!* Also Known As

We've all seen keylogger links all over the forum staying there for several hours. A 5 minute timer really doesn't cut it if there is no active moderation. They have offices all over the world - timezones would not be an issue. I'm not sure that's even necessary... There are plenty of forums out there that aren't flooded with trolls and don't have 24/7 moderation. It takes an EVE account to post on these forums, doesn't it? They could restrict the trial accounts to only posting in the "new citizens" section... Or put in a captcha during the trial account sign up... Or make people reply to a confirmation email... ----

HA! You fool! What kind of idiot goes and wastes their one post on something like that!?! But you know, I probably shouldn't say things like that... karma and all... I'll probably end up writing out some stupid, thoughtless reply to a completely irrelevant post and wasting mine... EDIT: A STROKE OF BRILLIANCE! We can't post but every 5 minutes, but we can edit as we please. We'll just carry on conversations using edits!
Xtreem Gallente Knockaround Guys Inc.	Posted - 2009.09.11 16:49:00 - [12] its annoying, but I can get around it

Sun Clausewitz	Posted - 2009.09.11 18:27:00 - [16] This is worse than the Capcha crap they tried. Pick Three: Caldari/PVP/Solo/Success
Intense Thinker Minmatar Republic University	Posted - 2009.09.11 18:34:00 - [17] Hasn't stopped me... it's just like how Eve keeps the wowtards out. And now I need to take a 5 minute nap before I have the energy to post again.
Jarna Amarr Exhumer Industries	Posted - 2009.09.11 18:50:00 - [18] Originally by: Tippia Originally by: Khemul Zula The extra step needed to bypass the timer has not drastically slowed me down. Pretty much this. Firefox extension?
D3F4ULT Gallente	Posted - 2009.09.11 18:54:00 - [19] You could just post one reply to the thread and edit the reply many times to reply to other people's comments. Thus bypassing timer. ^_^
Lance Fighter Amarr	Posted - 2009.09.11 19:01:00 - [20] actually it kinda has. if you look at my eve-search posting graph.. You can easily tell when the 5minute timer started >.> then of course there was the 'yay i can circumvent this' hump, but then i got too lazy.

We can't post but every 5 minutes, but we can edit as we please. We'll just carry on conversations using edits! Don't or soon you cannot edit anymore either. A long time ago you could bump threads without posting on them by deleting your own post right after posting. This was especially useful in trade forums. That is no more and I'm here to assume guilt for being a ghostbumper and killer of features... Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav!* Also Known As

Malcanis Vanishing Point. The Initiative.	Posted - 2009.09.12 11:44:00 - [28] I think the timer has considerably improved the forums.
I SoStoned Caldari	Posted - 2009.09.12 12:44:00 - [29] Yeah, it certainly puts a smackdown on posting. I usually surf the sales forums and hit them pretty rapidly when my wallet is phat... now waiting 5 minutes to make conterbids is a PITA... and being sniped is a hair puller.
