Forum post time

[spikereloaded]

Hey people

I've had a look in the forums but couldn't find what I'm looking for. I want a mod that will only allow users to post in the forums 3 times in 5 minutes as I'm having a problem with people spamming now and again! Any ideas??

Cheers

should be something in the lines of

<?php
$block_time = 5 * 60; // minutes * seconds
$block_post = 3;        // amount of posts before being "blocked"
$res = $db->query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS 'posts' FROM forum_posts WHERE fp_poster_id = {$ir['userid']} AND fp_time > (unix_timestamp() - $block_time)");
$row = $db->fetch_row($res);

if($row['posts'] >= $block_post)
{
   echo "Anti spam block! You'll have to wait before you can post again";
   $h->endpage();
   exit;
}
?>

 

note: written in the quick reply, so TEST it out first ;)
