Was very glad to find this, and have installed it without any issues.

However, I do have one question. For now, I have the second part still at 15 (which I guess is default) what settings do you find the best? Should I lower it to 10, etc?

Awesome mod.. thanks!
I have only gone a low as 12 myself. An update coming will include JavaScript to tell the user how long they have to wait to hit submit.

I thought about displaying the time real hard and don't think it's an issue.

If a spammer gets caught, you get an email to webmasteremail. In my experience I have found it best for all three vBulletin notification emails to be the same. But that's another thread about getting the mail through.
