BGC has just been officially warned about excessive posting.
By "total stranger" you mean tournament official?They still have to maintain the cards place on the course. But yes, there shouldn't be a time limit.
That said if the other players feel that it is a problem they are always free to put him on the clock. But again if they give the warning, they should be responsible for the timing. It shouldn't be handed off to someone else without the player being notified of it.
How would all you react if some total stranger comes up to you and says they are penalizing you? Bottom line it was handled poorly and the way it was handled screams out that Nikko was targeted. Fix the rule to prevent this from happening again.

Can I penalize him now?
if you pick up your marker, walk to the tee, then go back to finish the hole, it is a one stroke penalty. Don't go back and it 1 stroke to complete and 2 stroke penalty. According to you all, the penalty should be greater though because if you have to walk back to finish, you are also violating the time requirement. which is why their are conditions set before a time violation can be called.
if you called a penalty on yourself in that situation there is simply no helping you. You were not warned and you weren't out of position. You cheated yourself because you don't really understand the rule.

You are a certified official.
Tourney official or not, it is entirely possible Nikko had zero idea who he was or why he was getting in his business. thus the necessity of a direct warning to Nikko by the official. Why would that be so difficult to implement? Why wouldn't you look back and try to figure out a way to diffuse future incidents like this? Unless of course you were specifically targeting Nikko?
How about:
1) We clock every player, every throw.
2) Players accumulate unused time for shots made in less than 30 sec.
3) Players with accumulated time can sell blocks of time to other players ... like carbon credits.
Isaac Robinson plays pretty quickly, doesn't he?
This could be a nifty revenue stream for him.
Sarcasm??? Not even a chance of that.
If we did this then Scott burtard and Chris Herron would have an hour to throw on the last hole.

What did you mean by this:You let them tee off it par+.
Obviously you don't play ball golf either, because
A. there very definitely are time limit penalties in ball golf, independent of the card's position on the course, and
B. there have been several instances in the last few years where TV VIEWERS have called bg tourney officials to report violations(other than time) and penalties WERE handed down to the guilty players.
I realize you want to rewrite the PDGA rulebook in your image and likeness, but it isn't going to happen.
Players on this list (approximately 20-25 players) will be notified prior to tournament play, and must make strokes within 60 seconds for every shot throughout that tournament. If they are observed failing to do so, they will be timed individually by a rules official.
Similar to when groups are deemed out of position, players are then given 40 seconds to make a shot while they are being timed, with 10 more seconds for those playing a shot first. An ensuing "bad time" will produce a warning, and any following bad times will result in a one-stroke penalty. So yes, that means players who are on the list are more likely to receive a warning and a penalty, but the same application will be used for players in groups that are deemed "out of position," even if said players are not on the Observation List.
There is no direct stroke penalty for taking this long, though it could lead to one, but players who take longer than 120 seconds (two minutes) to play a shot without having a valid reason for doing so will be given a warning once in a season. The next time that happens would incur a $10,000 fine. Each subsequent EST that season earns an additional $20,000 fine.Perhaps most important about officials timing is that once timing players, if there is no bad time recorded within two holes, timing will cease.
