Is there any way to lessen the flood control delay, particularly for PMs?

It's just a real pain when you are trying to organize something for a league, or respond to multiple PMs and you have to wait a full minute between when you send one and opening up the next one.

Used for spam control

There has been some problems with spammers using PM's.

I am aware of that. A minute is still a long delay.

allowing premium accounts on thehuddle.com with some different parameters applied would alleviate this, and I know that there are plenty of folks that would be okay with paying.

Sorry that a few find this cumbersome, but it's necessary for spam control.
