What this mod does
With this mod you can limit the number of PM's that a usergroup can send within a defined period, this can be 1 day or any number of days.

Features:
Limit of PM's can be set
Exemption if users post count is greater than x
Number of days can be set for limit to work over (i.e 10 PM's in 5 days)
Can select multiple usergroups

Will work on vb3.7.x onwards!

Installation
Simply go to AdminCp>Plugins & Products>Manage Products>Add/Import Product
Visit your vBulletin Options and set the settings as required :)

Please mark as installed as any request for help will not be answered unless you do :)

Special thanks to HM Beaty for helping me sort out an issue!

This was working without issue on vBulletin 4.1.10

I'm switching to XenForo tonight as I type this, so I'll not be able to provide you with any further updates.

But "someone" allowed me to play with 4.1.11 and it seem to be working on an alpha build.

So you shouldn't have anything to worry about. :)

This is a great Mod but I already have a similar one, allows new accounts to send PMs to admins and other designates only, until the set post count is reached. (I'm set to 20.)

Usefulness is many-fold, protecting against spammers and would-be poachers.

Nice work Simon.

I only created it because someone specifically asked for me to create it then didn't want to pay the $20 i was asking (hardly breaking the bank!) so rather than let my work go to waste i released it, it works on vb3 platform too :)
