Just wanted to say that even though this is a little annoying if you realize a typo right as you post, I think overall I will be appreciative of the future lack of octuple posts.

I think I've seen a septuple group of posts; did you get a screenshot of the octuple? Cause that would be some sight to see.

As for a time limit, like you said I often find that I overlooked typos or grammatical errors, and most of my edits are done within fifteen minutes of posting. How much time between posts were you thinking?

Remember also that some people cannot get on the computer for very long each day. A time limit may hurt them out of proportion to the savings made on an admittedly annoying but minor problem.



Edit: The irony of having to edit my post isn't lost on me.

Anyway, I just realised that posting and editing are two different functions. Just disregard my second paragraph. I still stand by the third one though.

I think it really comes down to priorities. Dan has quite a bit on his plate regarding changes and fixes for the site. The value of a time limit is debatable as well, as it might hurt others while it would help combat the multiple post issue. Ultimately though, the multiple post issue is a pretty minor problem and they can be easily reported to the mods and removed with little effort.

Actually, I set the time between posts , and I increased it recently due to a server problem.

I've reset it back down to 15 seconds.
