Still works on vB 4.2.3. I spent 1 hour just testing all the features and I didn't encounter any problems.
My friend has this working on vB 4.2.2 PL 1.

Once you set up it up, press add and this is what you'll see:

Example: Usergroup: Registered users. Forum: Testing Post Count.
5 threads every 60 minutes in that forum section & 10 posts every 30 mins.
Note 1: You can not give double 'rules' to the same usergroup, in the same forum (sadly).
For instance, if I wanted to also limit 'Registered Users' in the forum 'Testing Post Count' with 10 posts every 2 hours & 50 posts every 3 hours -> I wouldn't be able to do that. If I tried, it would just replace my 'rule' from above.
^If somebody could implement that feature, that would make this mod perfect for me
Anyway, this is what you'll see now:

Now if you ever leave admin CP and want to edit later on, this is how you'd find it:

Note 2: I just pressed Find, without actually specifying the forum. Hence all the 'rules' I've put in all appear. Putting the 'filter' via selecting a specific forum and/or usergroup works perfectly fine.
Note 3: I'd recommend testing out all these features too. Set it to something really low -
Example: 1 thread per 5 mins & 2 posts per 4mins.

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Throttle Posts

Edit time for Thread/Posts.
Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manger -> [Select Usergroup] (edit):

Note: The times will be global. On usergroup manger, you can only specify the maximum posts/threads. You can't have separate times & posts/threads for each usergroup this way (you'll have to do it the other way- ' Per Forum & Usergroup Settings')
Note 4: ^That takes second priority. The settings from 'Per Forum/Usergroup Settings' takes first priority as long as you have this set to yes:
