0 second post wait?

[Logan_Devine]

For post waits like the “wait 0 secs before posting again” it should say “wait less then a second before posting again. (Precise value 1/15 or so)”

Can you screenshot this? Where exactly are you seeing it?

From an example forum:

Sure, maybe @neil can double check that code path, we have standard time display handlers.

Ok, it’s here:

if @available_in < 1.minute.to_i
        time_left = I18n.t("rate_limiter.seconds", count: @available_in)

Is “wait less then a second” any better than “wait 0 seconds” though? It’s still silly… Maybe “wait a few seconds”?

Why not just ceil it to 1 second? Seems like only the Flash would be able to detect the inaccuracy.

Or please try again now?

[Mittineague]

Yes, for my response time that would work. Do you feel there is any chance a retry might happen before the full fraction of a second has elapsed?

[codinghorror (Jeff Atwood)]

Whatever is simplest and gets this off our plate is fine by me.

I do like @cmwebdev’s suggestion though!

[neil (Neil Lalonde)]

I went with “a few seconds” instead of @cmwebdev’s idea because of how the translation strings are created. Invalidating all those translations isn’t worth it in this case imo.
