[Userscript] User Interaction Rate Limiter

Occasionally, when I’m making tag edits across many images or when I have a collection of images I want to upload as close together as possible, I’d inevitably gets sloppy and click that ‘save’ button a little bit too early and run afoul of the rate limiting imposed upon by the site. This kinda sucks, not only does it break my cadence, I also lose the stuff I filled out and now have to redo them all over again.
 
So, after having that happen to me one too many times, I finally decided to do something about it in the only way I know how, with a userscript:
 
Philomena Rate Limiter
 
Click here to install
 
Basically what this script does is when you try to perform a rate limited action*, it’ll check the last time it was performed and calculate if you’re still within the cooldown period. If so, it’ll delay that action until the cooldown has expired.
 
If you’re familiar with 4chan’s quick reply form, it works a little bit like that – except mine’s, like, way better because you can queue up multiple actions with it and stuff.
 
*upload, comment, tag edit, forum post.
 
Compatibility  
Tested to work on Violentmonkey for Chrome.  
Does not work on Violentmonkey v2.13.0 for Firefox, due to a bug with the extension that seems to be fixed in the beta build.  
Every other browser+userscript extension combination is untested.

oh shit this is bad ass.
 
Do you think you could make the jannies a mass delete script using a similar function to mass tagging?

I’d have thought they’d already have such a feature or something similar. If not, I could certainly give it a try if they asked.
 
Also do you have a mega thread or a userscript general that I can follow for all your stuff?
 
I have links to most of my stuff on my Derpi bio, since that’s where I originally posted most of it. I also prefix my userscript threads with “[Userscript]”. For everything else I might have missed you can take a look at my Github and Gist page.

Hahahah!  
No.  
Philomena does not come with a mass deletion tool (yes, this is incredibly painful). So it would be amazing if you could make one. So far, ArchiveAnon is the only one who has a script that’s written in node, but ideally something that all mods could use would be best.

Hmm, alright. I’ll see if I can get Philomena up and running on my machine. Hadn’t had much luck the last time I tried. Anyway, that’s for tomorrow, Imma sleep now.
