Hello @soupernerd,

you just need to set a start time and check with a "if", if time elapsed is <20

Example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3620943/measuring-elapsed-time-with-the-time-module

start_time = time.time()
elapsed_time = time.time() - start_time

Hi seagul,

What I was actually wondering is this. Steemit seems to throw an error if you try to comment too fast.

Example of the steem error:

"(now - auth.last_post) > STEEMIT_MIN_REPLY_INTERVAL: You may only comment once every 20 seconds"

Is there a way to check against steemit itself, if your last post was within the last 20 seconds? So instead of just checking against elapsed time generally, checking against whatever it is steemit is checking?

I AGREE! Thank you for posting. Hope you get this to snowball to the top!
I up-voted you too... BTW, should steemit let us steemers advertise using steem? Be sure to tell everyone you know to come vote here at: https://steemit.com/steemit/@kingtylervvs/if-steemit-ever-does-decide-to-advertise-there-is-only-1-way-it-could-work-in-my-opinion-debate

This is a democratic community decision.
