Thread creation rate-limiting hack
Well, my forum was being spammed by a lot of idiots who felt the need to create a large amount of threads, and generally disrupt the flow of our bb.
I knew I could rate limit their posts, but it wasn't so much the posts that bothered me (they were easily pruned), but the irritation of seeing all those new threads until a mod could delete them all. I decided to rate-limit it so users could only create a certain number of threads per hour. Drop me a line if you find this useful or have an problems! -Kyle |
please enter the installation into a txt file and attach it to your post instead of posting the instructions.
that way pirates can't use your hack thx |
all set!

Cool hack, but im confused;
Is this a limit for a user, or for all users? |
This applies to all users, except for moderators.
What happens is, these kids register accounts, get validated, wait a little while, then post up a bunch of crap (sometimes several people at a time). We IP ban and ban accounts, but they are using proxies and yahoo accounts, so as you can imagine, its a bit hard to prevent. Our board doesn't allow guest posting, and for all we know, any user could potentially could be a "spammer", so I've been forced to limit everyone.. |
Cool;
Hehe, this hack is a neat little way to prevent things like that - Thanks |
Sounds like a practical hack. Good idea buddy :)!
