| Nov 1, 2023 at 9:57 | comment | added | Bob Ortiz | I have the same issue too. Although I have a 11k network reputation with 11 gold, 75 silver and 200 bronze badges. When I enter a site especially one that is recently released and want to add some helpful questions, this does limit content generation a lot. I think a high Network Reputation should lower this to 10 minutes instead of 40 minutes. | |
| Mar 1, 2023 at 9:55 | comment | added | bfontaine | I have the same issue. While posting a question on a SE site I noticed one tag was duplicated. When I tried to raise the issue on the SE meta site I got the "40 minutes" error. I now have to wait for 40 minutes for no valid reason. | |
| Jul 6, 2022 at 22:17 | comment | added | D. Sikilai | @run_the_race you are right about that. but we can only wait for 40 minutes :( | |
| Jul 16, 2020 at 12:10 | comment | added | run_the_race | You generally get it wrong when u r new to a site, i.e. rep 100. I think if one has made 1 post, then deleted it, one should not have to wait 40 mins to make another post. It should see that your actual posted posts is at zero for the current interval. Why am I commenting, I am waiting for 40 mins... | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 14:51 | comment | added | Mike - SMT | This question is word for word my situation. Posted on Server Faults and should have posted on hardwarerecs. I am a new user on both but over 11k rep on SO. Yet I get the same must wait 40 min to post on hardwarerecs. Somewhat inconvenient. It would be nice of you had an overall profile check that said Oh this users already has enough rep to understand how to post properly. Something along those lines. | |
| Jan 29, 2019 at 9:43 | comment | added | Vojtěch Dohnal | The same happened to me. I found a simple and straightforward solution: waiting 40 minutes. | |
| Nov 16, 2017 at 4:37 | comment | added | Hashbrown | That "move my question" solution only solves his exact problem. More generally, as exemplified by me, I have two [separate] questions for different sites (the first is a meta "question" too!) right now, and I found this after being stopped trying to submit the second (even though I'm a trusted user, albeit on another site, also) | |
| Mar 12, 2017 at 14:51 | comment | added | jjmontes | I'm afraid I still don't agree. I may be a noob in other topic but I'm definitely not a spammer, and a high rep users usually know how to pose a decent question even in topics off their usual expertise area. I still may want to write two questions across sites with <125 rep, and there doesn't seem to be a real reason for a fellow high rep user not to do so. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 16:57 | comment | added | Shog9 | It is though, because whatever policy is in place applies to everyone - and folks wear different hats in different topics. I think the right solution here is an explicit "move my question to [this other site]" option, exposed for new questions - that'd benefit everyone. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 16:39 | comment | added | jjmontes | @Shog9 but... you know, and SO knows, I'm not a spammer. It's not about equilibrium or policy. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 16:24 | comment | added | Shog9 | Yesterday I had folks calling for me to be fired because I wasn't hobbling cross-site privileges even more. Today it's more cross-site privileges. Tomorrow, probably less again. I feel like this is probably a good equilibrium. 40 minutes is a good healthy walk, BTW! | |

Duplicate of Does the new user rate limit apply even when you are a new user on only one site?, Let's re-evaluate the Question Timer | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 13:56 | comment | added | jjmontes | @gnat Thanks for the finding! I have upvoted that question, it exactly expresses my thoughts. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 13:43 | comment | added | jjmontes | That could be a solution. But only for this or similar limits, and I'd still keep a limit (ie 3 questions in 40 minutes). Other limitations would of course be site-only. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 13:40 | comment | added | Noah Cristino | @jjmontes Oh. Like it totals up all your rep? | |

| Mar 11, 2017 at 13:16 | comment | added | jjmontes | I am aware of the mechanism. My question is more about whether this could be changed. I think the current rule is a side effect of the implementation (which just looks at your rep in the current site). But as I see it, there is no functional reason not to allow 2 or 3 questions for high-rep users from other sites. | |

@jjmontes Well 125 rep isn't that much and you are considered a new user when you have < 125
|

| Mar 11, 2017 at 13:10 | comment | added | jjmontes | @NoahCristino yes, I read it, but that question is for low-rep users. But I think this should not apply to trusted users (say above 1000 rep) on other sites. | |
