Some of you might remember my other hack, which I wrote to prevent people from creating excess amounts of threads in order to spam or troll people on my forum.
Unfortunately, once I stopped them from creating a lot of threads, they went to other lengths to annoy me, including someone writing a tool (vbspammer.exe) which would cycle through userid's and private message spam people.
Well, I've created this hack to address these issues.
This hack will allow you to:
Limit the number of new threads created per hour by a user
Limit the number of replies a user may post per hour
Limit the number of private messages a user may send per day
I'll provide limited support, but since I developed this to suit my needs (and not to be some super flexible hack), I probably won't be extending the functionality of this hack anymore (unless someone comes up with a super idea).
Enjoy!
