Hey Roger...

I'm sure this gets brought up a zillion times on here, but I will feel better for asking myself. Okay so this is about the 60 second rule. WAIT! Don't leave yet. I know it's extremely useful, but I think I have an idea. What if we make the time between posts proportional to the number of posts the poster has? Of course you'd never have to eliminate the time completely (say 30 seconds for all senior members, that being the least amount anyone can get between posts). This would still prevent random people from spamming because you'd have to post 1,000 posts just have a 50% decrease in the time. They'd have to be rather dedicated to CC to even get that far . I think with the new server and all, CC could handle this. Thanks for listening.

Rules like the 60 sec. rule are forum wide- I don't think there's an easy way to differentiate between users.

Celebrian would have to post every minute for three hours a day for two months to reach that many posts. Sorry, I have no life and am in no way trying to offend anyone.
