This is gonna to make pointless arguments on the forums last Longer, and make players write out long pointless essays, that no one wants to read
So does this mean we're gonna start seeing "TL: DR - 300 seconds of writing so I can post again" after walls of text...
Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

LOL now it's the forum Grindathon too, how screwed up can this get?
Chris Robert's on SC:
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
It's quite past the absurd. We're in the realm of the Beatles!
No man Beatles is way over in the other direction, this is a whole different brand of weirdness and it's not even upsetting, look at this thread, people are having fun with it even if it's Cryptics ongoing efforts to blaze new trails in being idiots.:rolleyes:
If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
LOL now it's the forum Grindathon too, how screwed up can this get?
you know, I think someone recently asked "How much more can PW TRIBBLE this up?" then they come along and impose a 300 second gag order on us... without explaining anything. When the mods and admins were asked, they ignored it. Once the question was repeated across every thread they posted in, they disappeared.
Please, don't tempt them to make it even worse... although I'm curious to see if they can swing the axe and miss the neck again. It's like how they butchered the execution of Thomas Cromwell.

I have a feeling that like a lot of this, the higher-ups at Cryptic decided to attempt to solve a PEOPLE problem with a technical solution. There seems to be a real disconnect on the human relations piece. We're not bugs to squash or code away.
What I think they intended was to reduce the workload on the mods, but what they have in practice caused is a chilling effect.
On the chance that they did not understand exactly what they were doing and why it is a bad idea when poorly communicated like everything else in Delta Rising, I am going to post this article for reference.

It may by a tool to curb insta-trolling. If so, I actually approve. Yes, it may cause frustration to non trollers and flamers, but in the end, maybe the forums will cool down and we son't have 50+ pages of troll posts.
Edit: Ya, I got it too... 300 seconds.
This is censorship pure and simple , good job Cryptic you've failed again. It's only gonna get worse on the forums it will just take a little longer.
Looking for more info on Dilithium Rising? Click on the link below:
People are now worshipping the developers, complimenting their effort and have completely stopped posting negative posts.
Just like with DR they are obviously in total control of the situation and there is nothing desperate about that or the stuff they come up with
Sorry but saying it doesn't make it true and no amount of moderator gymnastics can erase peoples memories.
Antics like this just make Cryptic more of a laughing stock and underscore the fact that they just aren't up to the task of managing this intelligently.
This whole thing is a farce, from a game that has little to do with Star Trek now to all of the class A screwups, I can't take these people seriously anymore and I certainly have no interest in giving them another dime. It's kind of sad that I get more entertainment watching Cryptic's self destructive blunders then I could ever get playing the game now.
This timer thing is the latest but I'm sure it's not going to be the last.
If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
Seriously, why make us wait so long to post. It's not like people are going to stop posting their opinions or making posts about nothing. If anything, I feel like this will only antagonize posers into make more ridiculous posts so that they have something to do during the 300 seconds. Idleness isn't necessarily a good thing. I really do hope this time gate changes, but I get the feeling it won't.

I'm sorry, cupcake, but it did not work. Let me enlighten you. They most definitely got irritated by the five minute wait between posts (which effectively means they can only post 12x in an hour) and took their complaints to other social media sites, where Cryptic has no control at all and will find they've created yet another collosal mess for themselves within days of the last one. The level of ineptitude at that company is truly painful to watch from the sidelines...and yet, entertaining and awe inspiring. It's like a deer staring at headlights!

What Will You Do With The Other Four Minutes?:P
Word of the day is, "Epic" lol
It's like you were there for that conversation!
LOL, prepare posts so he can go back in four minutes and ten seconds for round two obviously. :P
Damn 54 seconds... 40... 33, my perception of time sucks...
I am sad to admit my shortest time was 14 seconds... the wife was not amused.
I deal in politics... you'd be surprised how close what I just typed was is to real life...
So does this mean we're gonna start seeing "TL: DR - 300 seconds of writing so I can post again" after walls of text...

Basically yeah.
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
Maybe that should become the stock standard phrase everyone posts as a response to Dev posts in future :cool:

It's because we're all mellow beatles-style
omg, those where the days, so true lol
I remember those days...
I would often go into chatrooms and start a dramafest to see what happens... or set up a war-craft two game and go "AARRRHHH!" when people called.

There wasn't quite enough time gated content in the game to satisfy our glorious overlords, so they moved to the forums.
