This would be useful, I think. @TheRedArmy said that the deadline for our /s/Diplomacy moves would be 10am GMT. He lives in the US, so depending on his timezone, that is very early in the morning, or late at night. Queued posts would be helpful for diplomacy/modernpowers type subs where posts have to be made within a specific time range.

It would also allow us to make posts when we are occupied with something else, like sleeping, eating or shitting for example.

I understand there is probably potential for spammers to abuse queued posts, so maybe we could limit the amount of posts you can stack or something.

this might need to be a sub toggleable option for the spammer thing, for subs that dont need that feature.

edit: or maybe the sub can dictate how many can be queued. 0 for none, -1 for unlimited..

Super-appreciate the concern, although I've already taken that into account for our Diplomacy game. 4 AM for me is when I am up, alert, and able to respond because of my working schedule, so it's no trouble.

That said, this idea is good, although I'm not sure it has a ton of utility overall. Pembo's ideas are also good.

I was also thinking it would be good to spread out content. I tend to make a lot of posts all in one go, or none at all. As the site is so small, it's kind of annoying because I flood all/new every time I start posting. Being able to queue some posts would stop that issue and also make new posts more frequent.

That's true; I do something similar, although a bit more spread out than that, and I only post so much in a go. A queue would be neat for that as well.

I can see this being useful. Especially when we are so small right now. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who cares about WoW on this site. (many are gracious enough to upvote the content anyways). I want to keep the sub active, but I don't want to spam the content in /all. Sometimes I have a few posts, would be nice to be able to spread them out for the times I'm not able to get on here. Keeping my sub active and filled, even when I'm gone for the day.
