:bobio: indeed. I think it reflects the way this forum works. Everything is generally on topic and to form. It's also important to note that "spam timers" can help prevent accidental double posts.

I haven't noticed idiot spammers in here like there are at EVERY Megaman board.... I don't think it's necessary.

The purpose of the timers are to prevent spam and double posts. It should take you at least 10 seconds to read what you're replying to, 15 seconds to think of and submit a reply, and 5 seconds to find something else to reply to.

I really fail to see how someone can get caught by the timer unless they are spamming

I get nabbed by those filters everywhere I go, just because I don't read and type at a third grade level.
