I've got a few posters that tend to post nonsense crap ALL day long.

I don't want to ban, but I'd like to flood control just those users.

Ideas/options?

:confused:

Try to moderate their posts. I had a similiar situation at my forum and coded this mod for just that.

I appreciate that..however I wish there was a flood control option, that I could set and keep them from posting once every 5 mins, lol.

They are literally racking up 200-400 posts a day PER person..between a few of these guys, and other members are quickly growing tired.

Ah, I see. There is a flood control options but I think it affects all members. Try to request it at the forums if someone will be willing to create a mod to tweak that to affect/exclude certain members/groups. It shouldn''t be too hard to do it.

You are right, it does include all members, I'm a member on another forum and you can do it to just one person, and I was hoping that was the case here.

Not by default, no. It will need some coding to achive that.
