Should the Lounge have a Waiting Period?

[ShadowHM]

It seems quite sensible to me. I also read for a long time before I posted but I can't imagine many new people having something so burningly urgent that they couldn't wait a couple of days - I know I didn't ;)

I too Lurked for a long time before my first post.

In general, I also agree that there is very little that is so burningly urgent that a response has to be made right away. Very often, while I mull over what to post, the issue is already addressed by someone else in more detail and with more accuracy than I could have provided anyway. :rolleyes: And when it is a matter of opinion, as opposed to fact, there is no hurry whatsoever to providing it.

As to dabea93's question: If you Lurked for months before posting, what real cost could there be for a further three days of waiting?
