Basically this hack is another possible way to stop persistant trolls, spammers, etc. What this does is if someone hits the flood warning page more than three times in 30 minutes they get banned.
This is currently beta mainly because nothing is adjustable, and
hasn't been heavily tested. Although it has been tested to work, just not against real trolls & spammers :)
I'm still working on a bunch of parts. So if you have any suggestions or find any bugs please let me know.
would be nice to be able to adjust the # of attempts...
great idea though
thnx
That will be coming in the final release. For now I'm just trying to get it tested and see what people think :)
Hmmm I made something like this way back in the day..
This hack is a bit different to yours, Neo. GerogeofCS' hack is based on post flooding in 30 minutes while yours is based on posts per day. But you're right in that they are similar, to prevent spamming. :)
I tried this on 2.28 and am getting a parse error?
Parse error: parse error in /usr/www/dsschat.com/forum/newthread.php on line 361
BTW:, you might want to mention in your text file that installation of your email flood hack is a prerequisite to installing this one
This looks like a very useful hack, however I am unable to get it to work.
I have edited the newthread.php exactly and always get a parse error when you click on the new thread button in the forums
