<font color="darkgreen">Is there an addin or anyone know how to set a custom usergroup to be able to bypass the flood check? Admins and Mods are exempt from the bypass the check so I would like to add this feature to another non-mod usergroup.

Thanks</font>

I would think you could make a plugin (global_start?) that sets $vbulletin->options['floodchecktime'] = 0 for certain usergroups.

Interested in this as well. Preferably if I could adjust the flood time.

It worked, thanks Lynne.

For selectively allowing certain usergroup(s) bypassing of the floodcheck...

Hook: global_start

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, X))
{
$vbulletin->options['floodchecktime'] = 0;
}


Anyone want to explain how to do this on 3.6.11? I understand how to add plugin but not sure how to go about adding this.

[Lynne]

That is a plugin using the global_start hook. If you know how to add a plugin, then all the information is there.

Thank You.It Works Perfect.

Reviving this one as I have a question. I use this but now I'd like to expand upon it.

What if I wanted one group to have one flood control time, and another to have a different time? Would I simply make two plugins, or would I just do this in the plugin I currently use?

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, X))
{
$vbulletin->options['floodchecktime'] = 5;
}

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, y))
{
$vbulletin->options['floodchecktime'] = 10;
}
