Spam feature

[melduk]

Hi,

I think it would be a good idea to have some kind of spam features on the forums as I have lots of problems with this.

For example

Time delay - only allowed to create new topics every X amount of seconds.

Thanks

You could try a simple function to check the last time that a user posted to the forums. Here is a little function you could call in the forum code that should do the trick.

function stop_spam($poster)
{
	global $db;

	//Time Limit in second
	$PostLimit = 30;

	$q = $db->query("SELECT fp_poster_id FROM fourm_posts WHERE fp_time > fp_time - $PostLimt AND fp_poster_id = $poster");
	if($db->num_rows($q))
		{
			echo "Sorry, you can only post once every $PostLimit seconds.";
			exit;
		}
}

 

This is untested, so may need tweaked some
