Loosen/remove message send throttle for trusted developers

I understand that most developers don’t check messages regularly, but I try to be responsive as I can. In some cases, I’m able to shoot out canned responses pretty quickly, especially when some event happens in my game that I suddenly get a surge of messages about(something breaks, everyone tells me, I want to be able to respond to all of those people when the thing is fixed).

When I do this, it’s a hassle to have to wait a minute every 5-10 messages I send. It would be nice if the throttle could be loosened for trusted developers, or if the throttle wouldn’t apply to message responses.

I think the solution would be that anyone with 1 million visits and a veteran badge has this limit removed.

It’s not perfect but I don’t imagine many spam bots meet these requirements.

The first reply to an existing message should never be throttled in my opinion.

(note that replying to a message and sending a new message are different APIs)

Good idea. Never knew there were different APIs
