Reduce the cooldown time for changing nicks and heads.

It definitely sounds like it. "Cooldowns were implemented because we used macros that lagged the system. We have better computers now, so please get rid of/shorten the cooldowns."

Are you not reading the whole post?

Could this cooldown be reduced to at least 5 seconds or maybe even 1 second?

How can someone use a macro to change their head 5-10 times a second if there is a 1 second, or even as high as a 5 second cool-down?

Also, there are other methods to avoid abuse: having no cool-down unless someone tries to spam something multiple times in a few seconds. For example, if you try to set your head 5 times in 5 seconds(who'd need to do that?), THEN enable a somewhat harsher cool-down(30 seconds?).

If you had read my post beyond the first sentence:

1. At that time I was an administrator on Classic, so I don't know who this "we" is, since I wasn't doing stupid **** like that. I merely gave the background information on why such cooldowns were implemented.

2. As it was stated before, I never asked for the removal of the cooldowns. In fact the title of the thread even states for the request of a simple reduction. Obviously while our computers have become more powerful in the past decade, people using a chat macro to fly through heads or nicks would be irritating. All I'm requesting is for it to be shortened to something more reasonable such as a second or two, as 10 seconds is just inconvenience really.

Try to at least read the original post before you post, because you just made yourself look like a fool.
