Awaiting Feedback Reduce Time Limit of Consecutive Posting for Premium Members

So right now, any non-staff member must wait 24 hours if they were the last poster in said thread before making a post again; otherwise, it gets automatically merged.

I think it would be nice if the time limit could be cut in half to 12 hours for Premium Members. It could be a perk.

Thoughts?

 

I'm not really sure why you would want to double post. If you need the bump you could always delete and repost with the edit.

I personally need to keep reminding myself that I don't have an auto-merge, I've made many a double post responding to people that ninja'd me.

 

An example is my projects. I sometimes don't get done getting them until pretty much the last minute that day (11:59 PM) because I forgot about them, and in those cases, I message someone, asking them to make some random comments on them; otherwise, I have to miss the next day because there's no way I could get them in only a minute.

Reducing this by half for Premium Members would let me get them around 12:00 PM the next day in scenarios like that, and this would be beneficial to all Premium Members because I'm sure I'm not the only Premium Member who does things like this.

 

Have to agree with Mixt, it's possible with just deleting and reposting, thereby time stamping at a later date with new edits in place, effectively super ceding the merging procedure.

I use to do that when I wanted to double post in keeping with the rules, before auto merge.

 

If it were any old post like "This has been updated" being deleted because you wanted to post that you updated again the current day, then yeah. However, for things like the projects I do, it's not really "logical" because they're daily words and quotes, and if I did the delete and re-post method, the threads would just eventually be filled with a giant wall of text.

 

I kind of see where you are coming from. Though it should be noted that the edit method would not turn it into some super post. It would just mean the every now and then you have two days of posts in one.

I'm not actually against this (though it would need to be a prem perk to hold the reason the delay is there at all). I just find it to be somewhat pointless because outside of one-man projects with 1 or more updates each day and community responses averaging less than 1 each day, it only becomes a minor annoyance.

 

Yeah, I said it could be a Premium Member perk. :)

Also, there are different types of projects. For example, my Gaming & YouTube Timeline that I only update once a week, which this isn't a problem for, obviously. However, Word of the Day and Quote of the Day, as the names imply, are daily things; if I get them at, say, 8:23 AM one day, but forget about them the next day and don't remember until it's like, say, 11:49 PM, I have a few choices:

• Go ahead and get them and just wait until that time the next day to get them again
• Miss that day and get them early the next day along with that day's stuff
• Go ahead and get them and then ask someone to post some comments in them so I can get them early the next day without them automatically merging

Sorry if I'm repeating myself.
