I believe the timer is started at the time you opened the response.

First post 00:00:00
Opened window to create a new post at 00:00:10 (10 seconds after the first post)
Wait 360
Click post - Post refers back to when you opened the window create the post (00:00:10) and says wait.

So wait 360 and then click create new post.

it's to prevent spam by either newbies or advertisers. make some posts and wait until your activity has reached 15+, and you should be able to make posts without restrictions.

It's terrible, why do we have to wait 6 minutes to post something?

I wanted to make a thread and each time it said "You already made that thread!" No I fcking didn't. The warning came up when I tried to make a thread and it said "wait 360 seconds" so I waited 360 seconds, clicked it, "You already made that thread."

Purgatory its designed to make you read a lot and learn before growing the capability to post
Also to avoid a lot of newbie questions by checking out the forums for answers

I think it's just a newb restriction, because I've never see that.

I think it might just be for newbies.  If someone could clarify that would be helpful as I just ran into this same problem.
