Anon Floodcheck
The normal floodcheck is great for preventing repeat and junk posts. But if you allow guest posting in some forums you can have users that will post under a variety of guest names all the time. In an effort to reduce the amount of guest trash posting under numerous names, I put in an anonymous post floodcheck option.
This will allow you to say "as a guest, you may only post once every 10 minutes, or once every hour, or once every day." If they attempt to post more often, they will get an error screen that encourages them to register to bypass this check.
Design Spec:
Prevent guests from posting more than once every so often.
Steps for installation:
-add one setting via 'admin/setting.php'
-add one template 'error_anonfloodcheck'
-edit two files 'newthread.php' 'newreply.php'
-upload the two files
Tested: 2.2.1
