Limiting the post amount

by fl4r3 February 22nd 2008, 7:59 pm

I was just wondering if there was any way to make it so Just one user had to wait longer in between posts. i know that there is a feature that lets you set the number of seconds in between postings, but is there a way to do that for just one person. i tried making a new user group and then tried to set that user group to have to wait, but i could only change what forums they could see. Ive looked everywhere but Ive been known to miss things.

No, that is not possible, sorry.

If that person is flooding your forum, maybe you will have to give them warnings and maybe even a ban for a certain amount of days.

Just curious but the help forum uses just such a system.
Is there any way of putting this on our forums?

the support forum does not have flood control badger i am not sure what your post refers to.

by hitesh February 23rd 2008, 3:07 pm

no one has flood control really speaking. We have to ask opposition to stop by making ours impression.

This is because if you block him he will register again, if you ban his ip he will restart his connection and his ip will other (Mostly)...

So you have no full proof control

by Guest February 23rd 2008, 3:33 pm

I know what badger is talking about. It is a feature on some forums I belong to. I think it is on Invision boards, but I think I have noticed it on other boards, as well. I cannot recall seeing it on a phpbb board regardless if it is thru forumotion or privately hosted. I would have to go check all the forums I belong to, but I don't really want to take the time to do that. hehehe I just know it is not available here. Wink
