Times Posted Limiter

I'm looking for a hack that can limit how many posts are posted in a forum for x ammount of hours or such,

Like, we have a semi-spam board. Actually, it is the talkerbot forum :) where people can just chat with him. But, sense post counts aren't enabled in it, people have started to spam it.

So I am looking for something that would regulate how many posts a user can post in that forum. Such as only say 30 posts in that forum a day.

Do you follow?

hmm, it's not a fine way, but should work:

open newreply.php and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ### CHECK IF ALLOWED TO POST ###

if (!$threadinfo['visible'] OR $threadinfo['isdeleted'])

{

    $idname = $vbphrase['thread'];

    eval(print_standard_error('invalidid'));

}

and below add:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ### CHECK IF THIS IS A SPAM FORUM AND JUST ALLOW XX POSTS PER DAY ###

if ($threadinfo['forumid'] == XX)

{

    $posts = $DB_site->query_first("

        SELECT COUNT(postid) AS spamposts

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post

        INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread USING(threadid)

        WHERE post.dateline > " . (TIMENOW - 24 * 3600) . "

            AND thread.forumid = XX

    ");

    if ($posts['spamposts'] > 30)

    {

        eval(print_standard_error('toomuchspam'));

    }

}

now all you have to to is to create a new errorphrase called toomuchspam :)

@ tenbucks: yes you can.

be sure to remove it in the query as well ;)

@InsideContender, well, i did already, all you have to change is the XX into the specific forumid.
