Topic: What is the minimum time or interval expected to make post ? (Read 299 times)

Posting breaks are up to you. You can create a post every hour or more depending on your work area. For example, if you join a campaign and the campaign manager doesn't allow you to post more than five posts per day, you can't post more than five. If you post more than five you will have no problem but that campaign manager will not count your more than five posts. On the other hand, if you are allowed to post 60 posts in a week, you can post as many as you want without any instructions.

If the posts are meaningful, then you can post quickly and a lot. The main thing is that all your activity within the subscription campaign is not limited to one day. This is burst posting, and this is not allowed. I prefer to distribute my posting for the whole week into several posts in different branches. In any case, the main thing is that the posts should be useful to others and not be a set of words, the post should contain your personal experience or opinion.

Hmm Dear best is to stay pure here do not use any shortcuts while creating any post doing these your post will be counted as spam, brusting which is not a good image for you. On the other hand, when you create a good it is obvious it will take some time to create a good post nearly around 10 to 15 minutes or it depends on the length. Well, I think you took the best step while creating this thread here because the best is to ask seniors before making any mistakes.

there's no such a specific time interval, but its also something we can apply our own common sense on when we understand the need not to make post bursting or spam the forum, we could easily reason of an ideal time interval that we could use in typing a quality post to the same time required to find another thread, read and digest then make the procedure to typing the contents to what we are intending to post as well, at the end, you will discover having nothing less than five to ten minutes as time intervals between posts, you cannot compare this with someone who only make use of two minutes as posts time interval and giving what is not recommended as a quality post.

I don't think anyone does that except the person who mentioned it. I didn't check his post pattern though.


We should understand what the campaigns expect from the participants. If they want something special from us, they would have mentioned that on the signature campaign thread. For example, they ask to write a minimum x number of posts in x board. Write a review about their service and more. But I don't think any campaign asks their users to give some time when their participants publish posts.

We are good as long as we are making an effort in our posts and do not spam for the sake of signature requirements. Sometimes I could write posts with ten minute gap. But, sometimes it takes me half hour to find out a thread where I could write my thoughts. It's not something we can fix the time.

To be on the safe side, I think newbies should maintain a 30 mins gap post, at least. Even when the next post they want to comment on is an easy read or just a post or two in a thread before them. There shouldn't be a haste to posting. As high ranked members, I guess anything that's not a minute interval isn't frowned on. Perhaps the misconception could be that high ranked users are viewed as being constructive in their posts. Posting within a short duration could be viewed as burst posting for some while for others it could be judged as spamming. It depends, I think. For me, I try to keep a reasonable gap as that affords me the time to peruse other content on the forum or get something outside the forum within the few minutes of waiting. Anyone who's genuinely reading before posting won't be posting at close intervals. A few years ago, there were campaign managers who specified posting gap in their campaigns. I think it used to be 30 mins interval.

↑↑↑  Indeed, it takes time to make a quality reply, especially when there is already an existing discussion in the thread.  Oftentimes, reading the thread and replies will consume a large amount of time and most of the time when the topic is already more than 3 pages, almost all possible answers are given, so we just look for another topic after finding out that what we wanted to reply is already stated by the earlier replies except if we have something to add on the discussion.  That alone can consume more than 10 to 15 minutes of our time or even more.

While answering a freshly created topic being the first one to reply can consume a lesser time.  So I believe there is no standard time or interval to make a post unless the Signature campaign manager requires a minimum time interval for each post.

Their is no way you will make a long post and it will not take you up to ten to eleven minutes different from your posting,  and timing difference is determined base on the knowledge you want to pass across, because you most think very well before you can be answerable to any questions except its a situation you are the one that just read without understanding and you react to a comment without a cogent point.

Meaningful post do take time for construction due to proper research that should be taken, so therefore we have to understand the concepts of what we are responding for before we respond..burst posting is all about total post you make within a short time and in your history of posting like four or five days intervals is how you have been posting..and it's obvious that theirs something that motivate people for bursting,  when you are posting accurately due to you engaged in bitcointalk conversation the posting timing will be different and the space in minutes will be appropriate

People are really doing that??

Imho, that doesn't make much sense to me and I don't think that it even work the way you think  or helps the campaign you are part of.  Instead trying to time your answers and spread it over longer period of time you should focus on the quality of your posts and everything else is less important. That of course doesn't mean that you should write 5 posts in 10 minutes, but if you are actually putting some effort in your posts you won't be able to that anyway.

You are right. there is not any specific rule about that. just be constructive and don't spam in the forum and you should be alright


that's exactly what everyone should do. checking time and burst posting don't make any sense.  I don't think anyone would have to do that anyway. unless those signature campaign participants who keep their posts and do them at last day. these are the only people who do burst posting.

Campaign managers just want you to spread your posts throughout the week. I don't know if anyone have specific rules about time between each posts.

If you don't have any signature banner to promote then you can post at what time you want since no one will stop you for doing that. But make sure that your post have sense and not just a random post just to boost your post count.

But if you are working on a signature campaign then try to make your post time interval long so that it can help your campaign and the banner promoted to be visible on different time of the day. For sure with that you can help the manager also the company you promoting to maximize their exposure in this forum. If you burst post it doesn't contribute anything since for sure you will just be ignore and that is not healthy for the campaign you are participating.

Time doesn't actually matters as what matters most is the quality and the productivity of the information you are trying to create but regardless I think before someone makes a post, they first reads and understands the OP before making a post so perhaps, the time interval between when you made your first posts and moving to the next posts maybe due to rushing in other to complete your signature campaign quota should be around 5-15 minutes because even after you've made any post it is important to cross-check the post to know if there is an error in it before moving to a new post.

The idea of looking for a campaign that requires lesser post like 25 post you are talking about, can only be possible when I have become a full member. Looking at my profile you would see that i still have a long way to go. Even if I decided to only post lesser, how would I be able to earn a tangible $$$? mean while the dollar is needed to solve some problem. Anyways am not complaining about the campaign but just want to know the time intervals. Puting the blame on campaign would be like given it a bad reputation so despite the lengthy post per week I still love my campaign. I know the terms and condition before I requested and accepted. So I can't complain because my manager already made it clear. In whatever thing we have we should be grateful because many are still looking for that position.

Post intervals shouldn't be less than 15 minutes, ideally within the time it'll take to engage in a topic, atleast read through a few comments and start to compose a meaningful comment to reply, it should be atleast within the minimum timeframe of about 15 minutes. Except perhaps for experienced members who knows the topic too well and just goes straight to business and writes a few sentences in record time of less than 5 minutes. Otherwise 15 to 30 minutes is ideal like you said.

It depends on the manager and the campaign. Some campaigns just want visibility and do not care about post quality. You can join this kind of campaign but it will affect your account as your post quality will reduce. It's better to join a campaign that allows you post freely. Most campaigns have a 25 post weekly quota, that is a realistic target that anyone can meet. Those campaigns that do not have a post limit kind of encourage spam and burst posting because members of that campaign will want to post as much as possible to get that money.

It's always subjective and depends on a number of things like the length of your post, what message are you trying to convey, is the post helpful, is it made in a mega thread, and so on.
The way I see it, as long as the post is constructive, on topic and doesn't repeat what was already said one or 2 posts above, there's no limit. Like it was already said by someone in this topic you usually can't make 2 constructive posts in 2 separate topics in less than 5 minutes. If it happens once every few posts, that's fine, but if your post interval is always 5 minutes or less, it's obvious you're doing it to increase your post count and not to participate in conversations.

Bottom line: don't post just for stats. Have something to say, contribute. Don't focus on numbers like post timing. The fact that you're interested in this makes me think you're looking for ways to make the most posts in the shortest time and are afraid you'll get banned if you don't fit the criteria.

Time interval? Is there even a rule? I don't think so. As long as one maintains quality, he or she is free to post. Well, at least I think this way, in my opinion.

As for me, when I'm posting something, I don't look at the time or anything. I just focus on my writing. What should I write or not!? I don't care if there are 5 minute or 5 hour gaps.

Only a campaign manager can answer your question about time intervals. What they truly check, what they expects from the participants.

Your focus should be on how to make quality posts and nothing else. And for you to make a good post it will naturally take some time, so you don't need to worry about the intervals. You will need some time to think through a topic, arrange your words and sentences, and check for mistakes before posting. In some cases, you also need to do some research to gather some facts before publishing it.

However, you can be in a campaign that demands a lot of posts and still offer quality posts but this will depend on how much time you have to stay in the forum. But if you don't have much time to put in here and you are requested to write a high number of posts, I am afraid you will become a spammer because you will be forced to rush through your work.

There’s no forum standard time interval here to make a post to categorize it as post bursting. Post bursting exact definition depends on the campaign manager since they are the one checking your post history. If you are a regular member without any campaign, A consecutive post with shot time frame is not a big deal or can’t be considered as post bursting given that the content is not a spammy way.

Post bursting rules is the way of campaign manager to distribute post for the benefits of the project you are promoting in the signature campaign. Because making your post distributed on multiple time frame will makes it not easily being flooded on a thread. Just post naturally and don’t rush your thoughts. A random time interval is more organic than having a fixed time interval because you don’t have any control on when you will browse a good topic that will give you interest to discuss.

It depends on many things. It depends if you have previously interacted in a thread or not, If you already read the thread or replies before or not. If you have to read the post first, then it will take time to understand the topic and then write a comment. Usually, I always check the notifications I have received from my old posts. If someone quotes me in their post, I reply to their post first because those are the known topics where I have commented before.

That mean I don't have to read all the replies to comment. In this case, It takes only a few minutes to respond. Sometimes it could take up to an hour depending on your interest. I could write a post every five minutes if I want. But, that would be spam. So, better read first and then write comment only if you feel interested.

I think the time interval depends on the quality of your post. If you are making high-quality posts then your time interval between posts will be higher and if you are just posting for the sake of activity increase then you can write posts within 5 minutes. Sometimes, a short post can take much less time, but that does not mean that you start one-line posts. 

There's no required time intervals when you are posting here in the forum but if you are in a campaign like signature campaign where the manager doesn't allow post bursting and the post time intervals should be at least 15-30 minutes. Check the post above mine which is about the wait time before you can post. When you have achieved higher rank then the wait time will change. You shouldn't think too much about time intervals and you should just set your time interval to 15-30 minutes when you are going to post.

There is time interval that is coded as waittime and it is related to forum member rank.

Brand new and newbie members will have wait time is 360 seconds and after their activity point becomes 15, they will have more friendly wait time, as 90 - activity point, and it will reduce more when a user has more activity point.

Is there any time interval to write a post? No, if you are making a post, there is no time interval, you can check the forum rules, there is nothing like a time interval, and I haven’t seen or heard any signature campaign manager give a time interval for a post. But if you are writing a quality post, then there should be a time interval, you can’t write multiple posts within 5 minutes. If you are making a quality post, you will have to think first before you start typing. So all I will tell you is that you should just post freely, and you don’t have to think about the time interval. Nobody cares about your time interval, all people care about is the quality of your post.

If you're not a newbie account holder who has a posting restriction time interval there's no specific time interval for you to post but if you're on a signature campaign you must set a certain posting time interval or follow one if provided by your campaign manager just to prevent the manager having the impression of your burst posting to achieve your daily quota.

In term of Bitcointalk system, it doesn't have minimum time interval between posts, I never tried it, but if you want, try to write one post and then write another one, and post them both the fastest as you can, I think it will still allowed. And if we talk about campaign rules for posting, almost all campaign manager are not allowing post bursting, but only few of them explain in detail on what will be consider as post bursting, and as far as I remember, I haven't found any campaign that make rules about minimum time interval between post.

As long as you write a contextual and on point post, and you don't like fulfilling your campaign post quota in a single day, I think it won't be a problem, but I am not a campaign manager so maybe an answer by campaign manager will be more assuring.

I do not think there is any rule on burst posting, it all depends on the quality of your post. If the quality is bad then you would be tagged for burst posting if not then there is no problem with it. I have seen a few times some Legendary members do it but the quality of their posts is above average. It does not affect them as they know how to reply to a topic.

Rather than asking a question like the one you did with this thread try to work on your replies. A good reply never gets wasted even if the reply was made within a few minutes. This is a forum, which means you are interacting with humans who have queries and who have solutions to those queries. Burst posting rules were applied by BMs to counter spam and they have been successful to an extent on countering spam.

There was a time when a lot of users of the forum would reply in one word or sentence while being part of a campaign. A one-word/sentence reply if it is to the point would not be that bad but multiple replies on different threads is not welcomed. It will be considered a burst posting, to avoid it you would need to have some understanding about that topic. In a time when everything that is not understandable can be understood using your fingertip, it is better to be specific and detailed to avoid burst posting allegations.

If you are talking about burst posting, there are no special rules for the interval between two posts as long as you write something meaningful and constructive. But simply, it is not possible to write a quality, constructive post every 3-5 minutes. It's about what you write, not how often.

It seems to me that you are looking for approval here for your posts in the signature campaign, so here is a tip. You don't have to be forced to meet the maximum quota every week. If you have nothing to write, you better not spam. At some point, you will be recognized as a higher-quality poster, which will open up a place for you in better-paid campaigns. So you have two choices, either spam and post for dust, or be smart and participate in on-topic discussions for better pay.

Keep in mind that everyone's participation in this forum is voluntary, and no one is obligated to spend their time reading someone's crap.

Just post something that has quality which is what that is very important. You can post and someone post after you almost immediately in a way that you will see something to quote about what the person posted. Quoting and posting may not take more than 5 minutes or it might take more time. This forum can be like you are just chatting in a group but with quality posts. Having your next posts can be in just few minutes and it might take longer.

Another scenario is when there are more than one new topics in just few minutes. You may post in just few minutes on the new topics.

Post bursting is something related but also different. If you are going through many threads and just posting continuously in a way that some people have giving the information that you are posting and not given much time in between, that is post bursting. Also do not just read the OP and post after long post, read what other people posted too so that you will not repeat what other people have posted.

This is the posting interval limit:
If you are in a campaign that makes you post more than what you can handle, then maybe you should look for another campaign. Mind you that you should be posting in topics you have interest in and because you want to discuss with other users and learn, if you start making posts more than your threshold because of your campaign requirement, it can lead you to spamming.

Thanks for your concerns I really appreciate it. You know some campaign can make you post alot and it make one to be afraid not to spam the board even when you know you are making a quality post, but due to the way you have explained it I understand very well.

I also understand what you have also explained too thank you.

Personally I think the issue of post bursting span beyonds just the time interval, yes it is very awkward to actually see some giving a decent reply to two posts in the space of just 1 minutes or few seconds, the reason is when will the person actually read the post and then actually start typing the replies. Yes we there are many fast keyboardist here and before you know it they can type a whole lots of words but looking at it the post once it’s a post of quality then the time interval doesn’t really matter.

So it is not about the time interval but quality posts. This your question I see it coming from an angle of a signature campaign participant, see I will tell you that even this campaign managers do not set out a definite time interval and if they do it is criteria you must follow or just leave the campaign. But most campaign managers just want you to Atleast come here and engage like the way do socials and not coming to drop all your post within few minutes of the day, that doesn’t gives them the visibility that the campaign needs, that’s why some even have restrictions of the number of post to be counted in a day just to make sure you’re active for a certain period of time.

So post bursting is all about the quality of your post which will definitely take few minutes apart of each other depending on our comprehension skills and typing ability. Except maybe you have atleast noted Those replies down before and only paste and post them if not a quality post interval will definitely take Atleast 2 minutes.

It depends on each manager and you will have to ask the manager you are working with about his criteria.

Burst posting is mainly against spam posts. If your posts are good, manager will not count it as spam or burst posts.

Testing the limit of shitposting. It is an interesting test but a good poster can write many posts in short time which are better in quality than bad posters. If you are a bad poster, you can spend 15 or 30 minutes but can not write a quality post.

Guys sometimes we might think we have know it all but we could be lacking behind something. We usually make post and most people are afraid of time intervals to make each post, because of being afraid of message bursting and sometimes some people give 10minutes gap for each message while some 15 minutes and some others 20minutes so am really confuse because someone asked me and I decided to bring it Here.

What is the time intervals?
