It stops spam.

It saves the forum from slowing down.

So no.

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

No one needs to send messages every 5 seconds

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.
