Please wait 8 hours between posts in this topic?

I’m curious. I saw this at the bottom of the Legion topic. The topic wasn’t locked though. What does it mean?

It relates to the following Discourse forum tool:

It seems to be intended to deescalate topics that can get heated and have very fast comment replies. Sort of a mandatory cooling off type of thing as far as I can tell.

I agree this is a great idea.

Also this means I won’t get to eat as much popcorn because people wouldn’t be irrational and crazy.

I thought you were requesting that we only post every 8 hours in this thread. Like it was a game or something

You all lose. It has not been 8 hours between posts.

And now I lose too.

8 hours exactly, what do I win?

You lose. Title says 8 hours between posts, not between your posts.

Well I waited over 8 hours since my last post and it has been over two days since your post so do I win?

I will wait 8 hours for your reply :slight_smile:

I lost interest, and prefer my rules :trophy: vs huges84 rules :-1:

I was even more confused - I’ve only been reading one post every 8 hours…

I’ve seen three of these topics pop up recently and I don’t even see that those topics got out of hand … at all.

Maybe posts were deleted? Someone has an itchy trigger finger these days?

I will let @ZackeryWeimer cover this in detail since he is in charge, but I am pretty sure some pruning has taken place, which is related to the reason that the posting delay was employed.

I’ve seen more locked, specifically:

Do you really need days off/z1?

I’m not really seeing any contention in these topics so I’m not getting why so many are being locked.
