Version 2 is out! The capabilities have been vastly expanded. You can now create throttles at the usergroup/sub-forum level! Plus, the throttle time increment is set in minutes.
Enjoy!
FAQ:
- I don't understand!!! Why would I use this?
Say, for example, you wanted to have a sub-forum where registered users could only post 2 messages a day but a premium group could post unlimited messages. This mod will let you configure that! Here's another example. You want registered users to be able to only create 1 thread per 6 hours in a sub-forum but they can have an unlimited number of replies in that sub-forum. This product will let you do that!
- Do I have to configure every usergroup and forum combination?
Nope! By default, all usergroups (that normally can post or create threads) can create and unlimited amount of threads and posts. You have the option to create settings by usergroup that apply to all sub-forums for that usergroup. Plus, you can fine tune the settings on a usergroup/sub-forum basis.
- I have a lot of forums and usergroups. How will I keep up with all my custom throttle settings?
In the admincp, there is a feature that gives a summary of all settings by usergroup and forum. You can filter based on usergroup or forum and change the sort order.
- What does the "-1" mean in the settings?
"-1" indicates unlimited. So, a usergroup with a -1 setting for the time period means there is no time restriction.
- Is this fully phrases?
YES! 100% fully phrased including all admincp text!
