Users can be restricted to a set number of posts and/or new threads per a defined time period. The settings can be global for all forums by usergroup and/or specific to certain usergroups by forum.

FAQ:
  1. I don't understand!!! Why would I use this? Say, for example, you wanted to have a sub-forum where registered users could only post 2 messages a day but a premium group could post unlimited messages. This mod will let you configure that! Here's another example. You want registered users to be able to only create 1 thread per 6 hours in a sub-forum but they can have an unlimited number of replies in that sub-forum. This product will let you do that!
  2. Do I have to configure every usergroup and forum combination?
    Nope! By default, all usergroups (that normally can post or create threads) can create and unlimited amount of threads and posts. You have the option to create settings by usergroup that apply to all sub-forums for that usergroup. Plus, you can fine tune the settings on a usergroup/sub-forum basis.
  3. I have a lot of forums and usergroups. How will I keep up with all my custom throttle settings? In the admincp, there is a feature that gives a summary of all settings by usergroup and forum. You can filter based on usergroup or forum and change the sort order.
  4. What does the "-1" mean in the settings? "-1" indicates unlimited. So, a usergroup with a -1 setting for the time period means there is no time restriction.
  5. Is this fully phrases? YES! 100% fully phrased including all admincp text!
Product will work with any version of vb 3.5.x and up (including 3.7.x).


Installation

1. Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
2. From the admincp, import the product file product-throttle_posts.xml
3. REFRESH your admincp page.
4. Change the usergroup setting for any usergroup you want to restrict.
5. OPTIONAL - To set per forum/usergroup settings, set "Activate per Forum/Usergroup Checking" (under Throttle Posts/Threads -> General Settings) to "Yes"
6. OPTIONAL - Set any forum/usergroup settings under Throttle Posts/Threads -> Per Forum/Usergroup Settings.
7. Done!

Special note: a new thread does NOT count as a post (for the purpose of this mod) but a new thread does count as a post!

Enjoy!

is there a mod or script that limits the number of posts per user per day ???

Can this be set up for specific forums only, or for every forum but a few?
And also, can this be set for X amount of posts in each thread in overral forums?

If so, I'll be glad to send a few carrots to your paypal for your time

Actually, it's a huge change but let me see what I can figure out.

Done!

Version 1.1 includes an option to restrict the number of new threads that can be created in a 24 hour period (by usergroup).

Would it be possible to change it from being over a 24 hour period to being over a 1 hour period - because I find that more often than not the spammers are only on the forums for like 30 - 60 minutes spamming up the forum. I would much prefer a mod that limited the number of posts to 3 in an hour than a mod that limited the number of threads to 10 in a day.

Awesome hack...... I actually had to ban a couple users because they would not slow down... this would have been much better.

Thanks for the work

Great hack CyberRanger, was just looking for it.

Could you please add another feature into this hack so that the "number of posts/threads per 24 hour period" can be configured on per forum basis.

Also if possible, can you also allow the administrator of the forum to configure the period of the limit instead of capping it at 24 hours.
