I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds

I'm not sure if I wrote the request in an odd way, or if I'm just having trouble understanding the system. I'm not really asking about the limitations set up for overall reputation, rather the specific time intervels set in between posting a message.

So, say I was messaging with someone in the private inbox. I sent one message, only to think of something eqaully funny that would add onto the first message - but once it's typed and ready to be sent, I am told to wait a few seconds. Seconds being what I assume to be around 20-30 because when I wait five or ten and click post I end up resetting that wait time by accident. This causes me to not only not want to respond with what I originally intended to out of slight annoyance, but to possibly lose the chance because upon refresh you find another reply waiting (because the inbox does not automatically refresh). So now not only have you lost motivation for the joke/whatever it was you were typing, but you've lost a bit of joy while speaking with the person.

While this may not happen every time, it's still quite a downer to say the least for a fast typer who doesn't want to wait 20-30 seconds and then have to refresh just to make sure a response isn't waiting by the time they had already collected another thing to say. So...to shorten this more detailed explanation:

I'm not referencing reputation and limitations set on that (at least not to my knowledge,) but I'm referencing the spam-protection timer (what I've begun calling it) and the lack of auto-refresh. So, am I making any more sense or am I just not grasping something? If I suddenly have more posts/hearts I doubt that this spam-protection timer will lessen. That does make little sense - but if that is the way the system works, then I change my initial request to one where that's changed.

Reputation is nice and all, but I'd like it to not be a hindrance to my messaging. At the very least not to my ability to message and load messages. Again, little as the complaint may be it's still a complaint nonetheless. Whether it's "fixed" soon or not isn't my concern but I would appreciate a better set of features and "time limitations" at some point in the future.

Thank you for the clarification. :) I'll discuss this with the developers as you're describing a few limitations I'm not aware of to be intended. As far as I know the delay should only be applied between new conversations and not to additional messages in existing conversations. Also I don't think the timer is supposed to reset when trying to send another one too early.

Loading new replies without refreshing the page is on the list to be considered at a later stage. For now it is intended to have to reload the conversation to view new messages.

Also if you cannot send a new message yet, you could try editing your first message. There should not be a delay for that, but only become impossible once the message has been read.

@Gentle153: Thanks for responding so quickly! You staffers are awesome, sorry for whining so much over a seemingly simple solution. I'll deal with it like any other member until you guys have the time and energy to look into the topic further. :)

You're making little sense, but thanks for the tips. I don't aim for hearts or post count, but I enjoy sharing what's on my mind.
