I posted a reply to someone, and then about 5 minutes later I try to post another reply to someone else and I can't do it because it says I have to wait before I make another post. How long is the wait? 10 minutes? 15? 20? Just wondering.
shareOne minute if you're a regular.
shareI think if you are under a certain amount of posts (and capjourneyperson had to create a new account) I think it is longer.
shareI would assume it's that, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe you need to have the account for a certain amount of time for the countdown to go lower.
shareThere are some who should have to wait forever :)
shareThanks for the info. I've come back 5 minutes later and still can't post. I'm going to wait 5 minutes after I post this and then try to post here again and see if it goes through. If not, I'll wait another 3 minutes, then another 3 and so forth to get an idea how many minutes it is just out of curiosity.
share5 minutes later and it didn't go through. I'm posting this now at 8 minutes later. If this shows up, then it went through.

share6 min didn't go through, I tried it one minute later at 7 and it didn't go through, I'll try one minute later at 8. If you see this, then it's 8.
shareNew accounts have to wait a few minutes, but once you have posted a bunch, it is only like 30 seconds.
shareThere are automated restrictions on new accounts for security purposes that can trigger the issues you describe. As your account ages and remains in good standing, the time limitations between creating new posts and the spam filters that scrutinize the text of those posts are relaxed.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
