Well, just my opinion --- a waiting period is a bad idea. People who have useful or interesting things to say in 3 days time will say them immediately; and idiots are unlikely to be non-idiots 3 days later (or, in my case, 6 years later ;) ). Ease and freedom of access are what make the internet go round, and the odd moron is a small price to pay for that (nobody is holding a gun to your head to read or reply to their posts). Of course if these were the current D2 Bliz forums, I might have a different opinion -- a 3 year waiting period could be a good idea in that case.
