Suggestion: "You must wait 30 seconds to post" limit

[Hybrid Trainer]

Do you think that after a member has made so many posts, say like one or two thousand, the limit for how long they have to wait till then can post another VM or a post could be removed or at least lowered?
I just find it annoying how if i get like 3 VMs at once i have to wait a bit in between each one, because i'm obviously not a spam bot or am i? o.O.

:/ Unfortunately that's fixed across all members. If it weren't, we'd definitely remove the VM wait for all members and I'd be totally open to reducing the posting one a bit for more people.

I really hate when I have 3 or 4 VMs at a time and I have to wait more than I spend typing. I think the VM limit should be taken down to maybe 15 or something.

Thing is, we can't remove the flood settings at all. It's not based on usergroup (except accounts with staff privileges who have no VM flood & no flood in the forums they mod). So we can't change the VM limit by itself, nor can we select certain members and exempt them either. It's either remove/reduce ALL the flood limits or nothing. And I think we've discussed lowering it in the past to no avail. :/

It's annoying, I know, but it'd require a plugin to change and we don't have one, nor am I aware of the existence of one.

It's not too big a deal, honestly. Less than a minute per VM, it's not even a long wait, so no reason to do this long, overcomplicated thing just to fix a problem that only causes minor annoyances to certain people. xD;;
