throttle_time missing from admin menu

[_ck_]

There is no way to change the throttle_time option from the admin menu and probably should be under writing options.

Patch including both throttle_time option and some code standards cleanup

I don't remember this being in the old admin screens. Does it really need to be in there?

I applied this patch to my local installation, and it works (at least the display of the option, and the new setting being displayed when you edit a user is displayed). But I am concerned the language "A user without the throttle ability must wait this many seconds before posting again" is unclear. I didn't really understand what it meant.

Does anyone have a suggestion for language that is more clear? I mean, what does this mean in plain English? Just seems unclear to me.

Tested and it looks like my new setting of 60 seconds worked fine to prevent people from posting too quickly.

Maybe "A user who does not have the throttle ability would have to wait for above mentioned seconds before posting another post."

I'm not sold on that wording either. Since "throttle ability" isn't really defined anywhere, that's the part that's confusing to me, I think. Who has throttle ability? And is it really throttle ability? It's the permission to avoid being throttled, right?

This wording still doesn't seem helpful to me.

Ok, here is a better version:

A user who can not bypass the throttling limit would have to wait for above mentioned seconds before posting another post.

Throttling limit is on the profile edit page where it is writting "Allow this user to [checkbox] Ignore the xx second post throttling limit"

[chrishajer]

I was unable to replace the original patch (not enough permission). This message has just one line changed, the message to the user on the admin screen.

[chrishajer]

oops, forgot to put the ticket number in the commit message

[chrishajer]

oh, never mind. I didn't commit this. Please review the wording

[GautamGupta]

That's fine, but you make lower case the first letter of "Moderators, Administrators and Keymasters".

Changed capitalization for role titles
