Apply flood check to guests · **Released**: 11-22-2002

Hi,

I think this qualifies as a vBulletin bug, however since the problem has been present in versions as early as 1.1.4, I'm going to post it here as a hack. This may or may not be included in some form or another in future versions of vBulletin.

Presently, if guests/unregistered users are allowed to post on your forum, they will not be checked for flooding (should you have the flood check feature enabled on your forum). Only registered users are checked for flooding.

For a full discussion of this issue, visit this thread at vbulletin.com:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...threadid=59267

This modification requires two file edits and one SQL query. Instructions are included in the zip file.

Support will only be given within this thread--emails and private messages regarding this or any other hack will be ignored.

Regards,
Paul

any idea where i can get that or if it exists? i know about 8 different sites that that person is doing this too and they would be eternally grateful for some way to stop it.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
