Precautions;
-A user's Post Queue is cleared upon Blacklisting to prevent further posts from being made
-A maximum post amount may be added to the Post Queue to prevent SPAM.
E.g. *Post Queue reaches 5 posts* - *displays message "Your Post Queue is currently full, please wait at least 30 seconds before posting again."* - User cannot post until the Post Queue's total amount is smaller than 5
-This feature may act upon certain users only, depending on membership length, post activity and moderation history (warnings, bans etc)
My Opinion on this feature
I think the current post 'system' is great. It prevents you from creating another post for 30 seconds, which could potentially be SPAM and/or rule-breaking content.
With this system, replies can be made faster for those that want to be part of all the discussions. Those who find it annoying to clash with the 30-second countdown for their next post to be made may like this idea.
If you see any flaws in this idea, I will appreciate it if you notified me of them. This idea, as most of my previous ideas in the past, will probably be rejected and/or flaws are revealed that would make this idea worse than the posting system these forums have currently.
