GREAT MOD!!! :up:

I've been looking for something like this for a looong time! :eek: (as portuguese is my main language, I did not associate the word with the term "strangle", as in Portugal we usually translate throttle into 'accelerator' wich means MORE SPEED ... :( )


Ok, one question:

Is it possible to add some feature inside your mod in order to prevent AT ALL more than ONE thread in a given Forum? I want my users to be able to start only ONE thread (per user) in the "Hi/Hello" sub-Forum.

Is that possible? (with no time limitation at all?) :confused:


(sorry my poor english... :erm: )

Sure ... read below ...

Dude! Thank you so very much for your prompt answer!!!


ok...

hummm... Yess, I just totally agree with you... That is practically forever...! :D

But I would like to have the information to the user stating that he/she does NOT have permission to start more that X threads AT ALL! ;) (at least, until some older ones are deleted/moved in the meantime :cool: )

Would that be a difficult feature to add to wour mod? :confused:

Thank you so very much once again! :up: :up:

This mod is great! Please note that it only seems to work on individual threads. I tried setting it up for the entire category and it didn't work for me.

Ok...! I just edited the phrases on the messages that are shown when a user trys to post more than he is supposed to!

(I took off the TIME information on the messages! Just PERFECT for me!)


P.S. - INSTALLED! :up: :up: :up:

I just installed v2.1 on vBulletin 3.7 and it works great.

This is just what I've been looking for to slow down the flooders.

My only small complaint is that it only shows the time period as minutes so my 24 hour period shows up like this:
I would prefer that is said 24 hours but I guess I'm picking nits.

Great feature. Thanks!

Well... I totally agree with you! ;) :up:

I would like to have some sort of AdmiCP option to choose from minutes to hours...! (so every Admin on their forum using this hack would have the possibility to choose!) :up: :up:

This should be released for vb3.7.x. Why not post it for vb3.7.x add-on forum if it is working on 3.7.x. Lots of people are missing out on this mod.

Hi,
I'd like to allow not more than three threads started by a user at the same time.
I can live with the 1902 years as explained in post #83 :p :D

I didn't catch one thing: if I delete or move a thread into another forum, it will still count or the user will be able to post another thread? I need the latter...

Thank you very much for this mod! :)

That's a good idea! I'm crazy busy right now but in a couple weeks I'll see if I can add that in.
Another good idea! I'll see if I can get it moved to the 3.7 area.
If you move the thread to a new forum, the count will be with the new forum. So that would be the latter. :) If you soft delete a thread, it will still count in that forum.

That would be great! A lot of coders are 'porting' their 3.6 working hacks into the 3.7 area. :up:



I see Mr Paul doing something great: he adds the "3.7" prefix on his hacks 'new' versions (followed by his 'real' version) so anyone will now that that specific hack is intended specifically for 3.7.x ;) Great idea! :up:

Take a look at his 3.7.x hack versions:

This mod is beautiful. :)

I'm having some problems with my throttle...

Some users are able to post when they should not post... :confused:

You can have a copy for vb3.6.x and vb3.7.x as well, you don't need to "move it" but you can copy it over or post a new thread announcing it for 3.7.x and keep this thread for 3.6.x users.

Same here, it seems to have stopped working in 3.7.2

how to set thread n post restriction on all forums for usergroups instead setting one by one for each usergroup and forum...
What I want is, to limit specific usergroup users to post not more than 5 threads or posts in all forums...

just wanted to say thank you. great hack.

Hi CyberRanger, quick question.

I have some forums where users can only reply to threads (posts) and cant actually create any new threads.

With this could I keep that forumla but only allow a set amount of (posts) replies to the threads per usergroup.?

This is ABSOLUTELY THE MOD I have been LOOKING FOR.

Thankssssssssss

Probably because you were forced to revert templates with the new installation. Simply redo the template edits. Try reinstalling and redoing settings etc. I think from memory that the template edits are done automatically when you install the addon and not manually.

GREAT!
thanks a lot!

***Installed***

If a thread is closed in a forum, will that allow a user to post another thread? For example, I wish to limit my users to ONE thread in a certain forum on a permanent basis, but I would like to give them the option to create another if they close their old one. Possible somehow?

Thanks :)

Hi,

I would like to limit the amount of threads a user can post in a forum in 24hrs. Is this what this hack does? Or does limit all posts regardless?

Also, does work on vB 3.7.4 Patch Level 1?

Thanks

Hello,

Does this mod do any database changes?

Yes, that's exactly the type of thing this mod does. AFAIK it works with the latest version.
No, the database is not modified.

How can i make this hack work only per Forum ???

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. You mean only have a throttle for one of the forums on your board?

thank you for your reply

i want to doit for certain forum in my board without usergroup permission

ie: i set in the forum and it affect all usergroups

it is easier because i have alot of usergroups

thanks

Ah I see! No, sorry right now you have to pick a usergroup and a forum. I understand what you are saying. Let me look at the code (been a long time since I've done that!) to see if I can make that modification.

Dear CyberRanger: How about being able to set the throttle by THREAD? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/01/1.gif

You see, I have a sub-forum in which I need to have the following rules:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/11/2.gif Regular members: Can start up to 3 (three) threads in each 3 (three) months, AND can ONLY post (reply) into each thread 1 (one) time in each 2 (two) weeks. (or 15 days)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/11/2.gif Super members: Can start up to 8 (eight) threads in each 3 (three) months AND can ONLY post (reply) into each thread 1 (one) time in each 2 (two) weeks. (or 15 days)

( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/3.gif note: no one but the original thread starter can reply on the thread, so each thread starter is the 'owner' of that thread)


:up: So, with your hack, I already can restrict users from STARTING the 'x' number of threads (3 to regular members and 8 to super members), that is just plain PERFECT! :up: It works perfectly with the sub-forums that I assigned to the throttle, as your hack is just perfect on that! :p



The Problem: I just can't restrict members to reply ONLY ONE TIME on each of the stared threads... :confused: :(

- Regular members have started 3 threads and SHOULD only reply one time for each 15 days on EACH started thread...

- Super members have started 8 threads and SHOULD only reply one time for each 15 days on EACH started thread...



What I would like to ask you, please, would be the ability to set a throttle in order to restrict thread starters from replying to the threads (in that given sub-forum - not all forums on my board) more than X times in a specific time period (in my case, it would be 15 days...)




Thank you so very much for your time, your work and your skills, and please forgive my bad english as portuguese is my primary language... ;)

Does it work with vBulletin 3.8.0?

+1 for that question... I'd love to get this on 3.8

hi,
using it (latest version) on vb 3.6.4 with the following settings, it doesn't work:

Global:
Throttle Post 1440
Throttle Thread 1440
Activate Yes

Usergroup-Settings (Global):
Usegroup X Limit: -1 / -1

Limit:
Board Y: Usergroup X: 1 / -1 / 1 / -1 (1/1440 (Default)) (1/1440(Default))

Usergroup X can post unlimited on Board Y

Why? They should only be allowed to do one post/thread by day on board Y

edit: doesn't even work when limiting the usergroup to 1/1 in user settings.

$dlremaining = ($permissions['throttle_postspermissions']) - ($tempmax1['dlcount']);
$dlremaining = 1-0 while trying to reply in limited thread - it's the 7th reply, so i think your counter doesn't work for me
["dlcount"]=> string(1) "0"

seems to be a "bad" sql query.

regards,
thomas

Hi,

does anyone know if this is working for 3.8.x? or there will be an update for that version?

Thanks.

I had this working on all 3.7 versions.

I got an email about your post and thought I better test it as I upgraded to 3.8.1

I am disappointed to say that it is not working now.

hopefully it will be updated as my free usergroup can run riot posting for the hell of it now.

Got it working nicely on 3.8.1 PL1

Dear CyberRanger: How about being able to set the throttle by THREAD?

Could you please consider this option?

Once again, thank you so very much for your time!

yes am also waiting for this

This hack would turn PERFECT with this functionality on it...! :up: :up:

could I set for my registered user group but only for the first rank?
the following ranks will be free from the restricted posting amount
