Topic: Why do I need to wait 6 minutes before making 2nd post? (Read 433 times)
That's just how the scripting of the site is. It is to prevent spammers. The posting limit grows as you progress.
It basically means after minimum 60 days i.e. 2 months of being registered on this forum & making 1 at least post daily i.e. replying to my/someone else's thread I should get the privilege of what I want i.e. waiting 30 seconds b/w making 2 posts ?
yes. However after you get 15 activity the wait time decreases by a lot so you won't have to wait 6 minutes between each post for too long. It is to prevent spammers. The wait time reduces as you rank up, so just wait the 6 minutes and post again and eventually your rank will increase and the wait time will decrease dramatically.
How many posts do I need to make to move up the rank?Can you please link me to the thread which explains Ranking System here?
You basically gain 14 activity each two weeks (maximum) , See here for how much activity you need to rank up : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/activity-new-membergroup-limits-237597
This should answer your questions (how they are calculated) :
Limits on posting
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);
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);
Limits on PMs
I've adjusted the limits to make spamming more difficult.
| Activity | Min. seconds between post actions | Max PM recipients | PMs per hour |
| 0 | 360 | 3 | 5 |
| 16 | 74 | 5 | 30 |
| 30 | 60 | 5 | 60 |
| 60 | 30 | 5 | 60 |
| 100 | 12 | 10 | 120 |
| 200 | 10 | 15 | 120 |
| 300 | 8 | 20 | 120 |

6 minutes is hell lot of a time to wait before replying either on the forum thread or to any PM 
For replying to PM, you have to write those 5 words also and wait 6 minutes also.
This to me sounds unreasonable completely.
30 seconds waiting time before 2 posts is considered reasonable but not 360 seconds.
