That is because you are an administrator of the board. The flood thing does not apply to moderators and higher.

How should it detect posts from unregistered people? vBulletin does not do that... Otherwise, all the guests on the internet would be dependant on each other. If you want, uninstall the hack, and see for yourself that vbulletin's flood control does not concern guests.

Yes I just found that out. Thats riciculous. You would think it could track the IP as an additional post.

Not really... IPs are often shared, esspecially, on corporate networks. That would be a nuissance is posting would treat a network of computers as the same computer...

I would think that the board could just store each user as a session cookie and know if that person posted again.
