[@Oliver] General rule of thumb that I go by is if my character is interacting with multiple others I wait for all the replies to be posted before I post again myself. No matter how impatient I may be. Also I usually wait for 2 posts in general to go up after mine before I post again. And finally if I have multiple characters I post for hem at the same time if I can help it, you already knew that though. All of those generally help so the people who get caught up in life don't get left in the dust.
