    Maybe I missed someone else's thread, sorry if I did.

    Just wondering why you can't send a message to two different users within like 30 seconds or whatever the time limit is.

    I understand not posting in the same thread too many times in a row, but two different threads or two different users seems overkill. Sometimes I get multiple messages from users and want to let them know I got the message and will either work with them or not all in quick succession, but can't.

    It would be easy for a bad actor to script something to swamp the site if they didn't have such delays. The delays avoid a denial-of-service attack.

    It's annoying but I can live with it.

    Because you can make Ddos attack and that will not help send messages) Also, it depends on hosting.
