Please lower the slow mode for messages inside posts in forums like #1075762784677146695, #1129432291014352906, #1075762753404407828.
Some conversations can get "heated" and a 2 hour slow mode (such as the case in #1129432291014352906) is omega disruptive to the flow, so people resort to editing their posts.
Sales forums used to have 6 hour (!!!!!!) slow mode on post messages as well in the past and it resulted in people not being able to properly bid on auctions and having to track edits. This was changed to 15 seconds which is great.
I reckon even one minute slow mode is tolerable for the other forums. Keep the post creation slowmode as is if you'd like. Just allow people to have a conversation inside the posts

Thanks

I can understand having some limit, to make sure it stays productive and they can read through the comments easier. I definitely don't think I'd wanna read 10,000 comments in an hour on a suggestion thread. But shortening it slightly would be nice.

you're contradicting yourself, because conversations are exactly the opposite of productive when you're muted for 2 hours at a time
if there are 100s of messages per hour that means the topic is hot and likely important to the community.
there are forum posts like this that we're commenting on that do not get much traffic because there's nothing much to add, and then there are forum posts like https://discord.com/channels/778915844070834186/1448051038773841940 that are full of edits because people can't converse like normal human beings otherwise

and sure, things can get heated like in the forum post above ("git gud" or calling people "delusional") and this could be up to the mods to enforce civilized and respectful conversations, which with a short slow mode would likely make their job harder. but I'd argue that (1) people can still edit these into their posts which arguably makes them harder to monitor because edits are more difficult to track than new messages, and (2) these things are happening because people actually care about the game, and people are allowed to disagree with each other
