I hate it I hate it I hate it.

Because I'm one of the button pounders.

You know what? I'll get used to it, so will everyone else, and within days, all will be back to pure milk and honey flowing in meta land.

Everyone got used to random ordering of equal-vote answers, the accept rate, the removal of the pad-comments-to-15-using-spaces possibility, the vote-changing time window, and whatnot.

So, alright, it's probably not that bad.

But please please please please …

… change the wording on the box.

"You may only submit a comment every 30 seconds"

is clearly not reflecting the behavior well enough for new users, and old users who have seen this before won't know that anything has changed.

The meta crowd knows now. The rest of the world is going to keep pounding that button, and they'll be doing that until they realize they've been waiting for two minutes for those 30 seconds to be over. Which doesn't help the "spamming our servers" problem either. <span id="told-you-so" class="update">Really Long Comment Wait Time?Really Long Comment Wait Time?</span>

Update: The wording in the box has been altered to display

Only 1 comment allowed per 25 seconds; timer reset.

I guess that should be clear enough.
