wow this was almost what i needed, as its a great hack indeed and thanks
what i thought this mite be was a guest flood control, these hackers going around flooding forums with guests and overloading the servers by setting there software on a thread or eg: arcade link then making the server overload with 100's of guests in like 1 to 2 minutes. that can be a pain lol. would be great if this mod could do that? asking to much?
anyway thanks again.

I thought vbFirewall does something like that?

[Gadget_Guy]

Sorry to dig up an old mod... but I now have a need for something like this on my site.

Will this also work for PM flood control?

I want to allow a certain usergroup to not have to wait X seconds between sending a PM

But I want the rest of the users to have to wait X seconds.
