30 sec Cooldown (Spam Protection)

[tiny quail]

I'd like to start of by mentioning I did try and see if this is a popular topic, or a suggestion that was recently denied.
All I could find was this post.

This post was completely absent of pros and cons. So I'd thought I'd try to gather some suggestions from friends, who have been on the forums for way longer than I have, and see what could be discussed. I understand one of the main purposes for the existence of the like cool down is- spam protection It is a very important thing to have on the forums considering how big the community is. However, I would love to see it maybe around 10-15 seconds. I know I'm very new so my opinion, considering the lack of activity on the forums and no introduction post, is irrelevant. I would like to say I wish to become more active but it's really upsetting scrolling through a thread and trying to like, well, what I like.

Sometimes I'll get multiple mentions at once and I like to like the mentions/posts so that 1) they know I've seen it, and 2) that I like what they said

I do notice the common forum user who treats likes as something reputable, and those that are willing to abuse the fact that the like system exists, so I can definitely see why you guys would deny this. I just want to see if anyone is willing to be on the same page. (especially the more active ones)


tl;dr Can we have the like cooldown changed to 10-15 secs why/why not?

In my opinion I don't see the big deal, 30 seconds is barely any time and I almost never have the 30 second cool-down message pop up. I just don't see a whole lot of use to this and I don't see how this would increase peoples forum activity if anything more people would just shit post

+v only seems beneficial still cool down but not as long

[doc]

+Vouch People just like liking a likewise amount of liked posts. No problem with liking that.

i could easily shit post way more in 10-15 second increments but i do kind of like the idea. am curious to see how it would go

edit: my brain sucks

meh

The efficiency of shit posting would increase.

I am little confused on how likes, and being able to like in a shorter amount of time, make shit posting more frequent?
In my eyes, I think if people can like things without replying in short meaningless sentences, etc. It would reduce shit posting.
There is no cooldown on posting that I know of, shit posting can and will always be present. I just think without replying on threads so consistently with little to no input, likes can replace that. I like the cooldown and it's intended purposes. I know shitposting isn't allowed/frowned upon so anyone that's ego boosting themselves for likes will probably not be around for long.

+v I find this ridiculous that you can post within 5 seconds of your last but you can’t like within 30 seconds.

+Vouch would be useful

@tiny quail there is a cooldown to post it is the same, 30 seconds. Now if you are just talking about likes I don't see a problem with it except people going on alt accounts just to boost their own likes on their main account by liking all of their post and that is why I think it was implemented and that is my problem with it sorry I didn't clarify enough

Post cool down doesn't exist anymore. Also, alt accounts are not allowed and can be easily checked to see if they are an alt account by matching the IP Addresses.

I'm asking from 30 seconds to 10-15 so that the actual purpose of a like still stands. You still didn't explain how it will increase shitposting rather than decrease it like my point was.
