I don’t think the time limit is necessary honestly, we all see post in a different way and we reply with our different view for example, a user can read the op and still go ahead reading comments that’s normal meanwhile some threads don’t deserve much attention and it’s not a must to reply, like sometimes I get busy and I intend to make post after then at the moment. If I should follow this pattern I observed I make post after getting full detailed of what the op is referring to, if the whole thought is coming from campaign post count I kinda disagree because most users are not in a sig campaign.

Time or the limit of the posts isn't the concern here. If a user can generate quality posts every 5 minutes, his posts are good enough and can pass a quality check, no one would have a problem even if they are making a lot of posts every day because they are at least contributing something in every discussion. However, suppose someone is making generic two-line posts with no substantial meaning or quality within an average interval of 2 to 3 minutes. In that case, that starts to become unbearable at one point.

When we post, it should still resemble human behavior, with 1 to 2 minutes intervals it's no longer human behavior, but probably AI.

You are right that it's an abnormal posting behavior, but he isn't using an AI model or a bot to generate and make those posts because an AI would have a more formal writing style. He is writing those posts himself, the purpose behind him doing all this is still unknown though.  Smiley
