Yes, that's the happy medium we should be striving for here. Even if Square thinks it's akin to the "Close Door" button on an elevator, implementing one would not only alleviate some of the congestion, but it would also make a lot of people very happy. I don't even think it has to be a heavy-fisted action. Your half-hour suggestion is reasonable; an hour would be downright generous. That would be a great place to start. Like many have said before me, there's no benefit to these stagnant characters. They contribute nothing to the community but headaches and rage-broken controllers and keyboards.
