How long do I need to wait between forum posts?

[uchegod-21]

I saw this mathematics in this link Newbies-Read before posting

Waiting time between forum posts is calculated with the following formula:

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);

Dose waiting time between forum posts means the time I will wait to make another post after making a post?

The waittime is the time you have to wait before making a new post, reporting a post, sending a PM or using forum's search tool. These are all considered as posting.
So, assuming your waittime is x, it's possible that you can't make a new post, even if you haven't made any post in the last x seconds.

Logging in, sending PMs, searching via the forum's built in search engine and reporting posts to a moderator will also be counted as posting

It is just the way the forum is designed. I think it was designed to prevent spamming. The wait time period only applies to newbies. Be patient it will end when you become Jr member

Honestly I don't wait at all, it doesn't matter if you post frequently or your having a good conversation along a certain thread, just because of a wait time does it me a you need to delay what's your respond on someone to avoid? I don't think so. This is primarily just a guide but we know or we can feel if someone is just fast pacing and wanted to do spam post.

It is default waiting time, you can have shorter one if you buy the forum's Copper membership or get whitelisted.

• Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements was implemented in 2018 but with a Copper Membership, you will be automatically whitelisted.
• New PM limits with Whitelisting

You do not need to change the color or the size of you text, doing that actually makes it difficult to read, imaging everyone wrote on the forum using different colours.
To answer your question, yes. "Post" on the forum also include other actions like searching, sending PM and replying, someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

If you check the formula, the wait time actually applies to all ranks. But the wait time is significantly reduced if you have some activity, so most people don't even notice it. For example, if you have 15 activity, the wait time only become 75 seconds.

ok. After I read BBC I love it because I love HTML too and they resemble that is why I am using it to fancy my writing.
I remember you. You are the person that whitelist me without collecting money. Thank you again.

Unless you can afford to buy a Copper Membership, it’ll just remove the waiting time before you are going to post the next one. If not, you’ve got to earn it by building relationship and reputation first in this forum, follow and abide by the rules, etc. You’ll get there in no time.

I’m not sure if the said algorithm is the actual code, or simply a representation of it. Were it to be the actual code, and just on an anecdotic tone, with my current Activity (1414) the algorithm would do:

Code:

waittime = 360;
if(1414 >= 15)   --> True
        waittime = (int)(90 - 1414);   --> -1324 !
if(1414 >= 60) --> True
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * 1414));      --> -77,3862 !
if(1414 >= 100)   --> True
        waittime = max((int)(14-(1414/50)), 4);   --> 4 due to the max function

The more efficient thing to do would be to use elseif or case type structures. The resulting waittime variable content would be the same, but the algorithm, as is, will evaluate each if statement and calculate multiple waittimes which will be overwritten, whilst not being necessary.

I think these "limitations" can only be noticed if one writes posts without first studying the thread in which he`s going to reply. Therefore, there is no problem, in my opinion, that there is a formula that determines the minimum time between posts. After all, we have to remember https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0  and ban on bumping, multiposting and annoying demeanor.

The forum operates this way. It's advisable to make valuable replies on threads, this will help bypass the time intervals. If you just drop one sentence after sending one sentence previously on a thread this error can occur. But, when you make a full meaning of your reply, that is thinking through and editing your reply. Before completing this practice, the time interval between your previous post must have elapsed.

Many times it will be hard to write long sentence. If I write long sentence I will make mistake alot. English language is my 3rd language. That is why I type short ones. But I will be checking my reply before I post them.
