If you want to use the hack in an easier way, you can do the following, you will need to enter the users and time limits manually:

1: Open newthread.php, and find:

PHP Code:

$subject=censortext($subject); 


In the line above it, place:

PHP Code:

    // check banned-users list
    if ($postusername=="user1" || $postusername=="user2" ||
        $postusername=="user3" || $postusername=="user4") {
    $hislastpost=time()-18000;
    if ($hislastpost_q=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid FROM thread 
    WHERE forumid='$forumid' AND postuserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]' AND dateline>$hislastpost")) {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_blacklist")."\");");
      exit;
      }
    } 


2: Open newreply.php, and find:

PHP Code:

if ($logip==1 or $logip==2) { 


In the line above it, place:

PHP Code:

    // check banned-users list
    if ($postusername=="user1" || $postusername=="user2" ||
        $postusername=="user3" || $postusername=="user4") {
    $lastposttime=time()-1800;
    if ($lastposttime_q=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT post.postid,post.threadid,thread.threadid,thread.forumid FROM post,thread 
    WHERE thread.forumid='$forumid' AND post.userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]' AND post.dateline>$lastposttime AND post.threadid=thread.threadid")) {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_blacklist")."\");");
      exit;
      }
    } 


2: Create the template error_blacklist with the contents:

Administrator has limited your posting abilities to:<p>

one thread every 5 hours.<br>
one post every half-hour.<p>

If you feel you got this message by mistake, please <a href="$contactuslink">Contact Us</a>.

you don't need to upload any file, no tables modifications are required

however, I strongly encourage you to use the first way because it's more integrated and fully embedded within control panel.
