It works like this. Every action (login, posting, reporting, etc...) share the same limit countdown. So, you can only do one of those actions every X seconds.

Great. Someone who actually understands what I'm trying to say.

Here's 1 merit. The very first merit I'm giving out.

Locked.

As TryNinja has said, posting and reporting share the same cooldown.

You can see how the time limits are calculated here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4131557

Code:

waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

And you can also see how your activity is calculated here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-forum-activity-account-ranks-and-merit-2766177

In short, you gain 1 activity per post, for a maximum of 14 per fixed 2 week period. The higher your activity, the shorter your cooldown. Now that your activity is 16, you should find that your cooldown decreases to 74 seconds (90 - 16).

It seems like both replies and reports are seen the same by the anti-spam software. Or is it intended to be like this?

Yes.
Newbie time delay for reporting too?

No it isn't a bug, it is an initiative put in place to combat spam (frequent) posting from newly created accounts. Like the notice says, the more establish your account is (higher your rank), the limit decreasing. so for now you just have to wait for another 360seconds that's 6minutes to make another post.

If you clearly read my main topic, I was obviously aware of the 360 second limit for low ranked users. My question was specifically about replies and reports being seen as one thing by the anti-spam system.

Edited: Sorry misunderstood you. I guess the anti-spam system for reply and report functions as one that's why you received the message when trying to report and reply within the interval of 360secs

I recently replied to this topic to call out one user who is only obviously replying for post count: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50173585

and after calling him out, I tried to report his reply, and I get this: https://i.imgur.com/5zC1ddb.png even though my last report was more than 15 minutes ago. It seems like both replies and reports are seen the same by the anti-spam software. Is this a bug? Or is it intended to be like this?

The posting limits are annoying as hell. But I guess it's really understandable due to how much useless spam I'm seeing.
