Even when I was a mod I never got why we have this as a function. It serves no purpose but to be annoying as hell.

It stops spam.

It saves the forum from slowing down.

So no.

i have no idea what you're talking about.

Kate! 19-02-2014 07:44 PM

I get why we have it.

But it is bloody annoying :(

MTVN 19-02-2014 07:45 PM

What is the delay, 30 seconds inbetween PMs or something?

Vicky. 19-02-2014 07:46 PM

Didnt even know there was a time limit between sending PMs :S

Kate! 20-02-2014 11:29 AM

60 seconds.

Pete. 20-02-2014 11:42 AM

:/

Black Dagger 20-02-2014 11:45 AM

60 seconds is such a LONG wait... I can be on a plane to bloody Spain in that time!!!

Headie 20-02-2014 11:54 AM

60 is too long... 30 would be understandable.

T* 20-02-2014 12:02 PM

15 seconds should be the time limit

Niamh. 20-02-2014 12:04 PM

:umm2:

T* 20-02-2014 12:05 PM

Even 5 seconds would do its job

Josy 20-02-2014 12:13 PM

No one needs to send messages every 5 seconds :umm2:

The clue is in the name, private messages not instant messages.

During a speed challenge of a game I do though or just in general during a game. Makes it hard, I mean in general yes, I don;t care, but could there not be a waiver for during a forum game for the people playing and the host?

There's no setting for that it's a blanket option.

Apple202 21-02-2014 09:12 PM

why not just link to a chatzy or something if you want instant messages with someone

Could we not reduce it to 20 seconds then, please? 60 is so long. I mean how many actually spam by PM nowadays and if they do then ban their asses.

Ramsay 21-02-2014 09:17 PM

Raise it to 2 minutes i say

Actually, in the mole 7, I had to communicate with. Marc and Ben in this task that had a time limit on it, I needed to communicate with Marc to give him my choice of what thing I wanted whilst I was trying to ask my alliance (Ben) what we needed. The time limit made it extremely hard to do so.

So?

It's the people that run the games you should be complaining to then

Headie 21-02-2014 09:49 PM

Don't see why 1 minute is so much better than 30 seconds tbh.

30 seems fine to me. Do people even spam nowadays?
