I searched for this topic and couldn't find it:dontknow:

I really dislike the 60 second time limit between every PM that you send. This is the only time limit that really bugs me. Can it be chopped down to 30 seconds at the most?

I know a lot of people would be happy if you lower it.

My only assumption is that the time limit curbs people from potentially spamming a lot of members, however I've never come across a problem like that.

Trying to sell stuff via PM messages. We found that it happens a lot less with the 60 second time limit.

Or they could set it up so the time limit increases after each message.

30 seconds after the first message you send, 60 seconds between the second and third message and every message thereafter. Is that possible? :idontknow

How about 30 seconds between PMs, but lower the amount of people you can PM at one time from 5 people down to 2 or 3?

I've never gotten one of those.
I personally don't like the 60 sec rule either but if it has to be it has to be.
