Why do I need to wait 6 minutes before making 2nd post?

[sardasa]

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.

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://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237597.0

and what's the waiting time b/w making 2 posts for each of these user groups?

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);

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

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.

That's just how the scripting of the site is. It is to prevent spammers. The posting limit grows as you progress.
