Well this is my first attempt at making a hack available to other users, so it still needs a little work. I'm sure some of you guys can look over the code and make some suggestions. <br /> <br />Mod Name / Version - Flood Protection 1.1 <br />Description - Adds a function to ubbt.inc.php to enable protection against users repeatedly posting (flooding your boards). It also has the ability to track page views to help guard against a user overloading your server by requesting database intensive pages repeatedly. <br />Working under - UBB.threads 6.2.3 <br />Any pre-requisites - A general knowledge of php and mysql <br />Author(s) - 3DSHROOM <br />Credits - All the users that make being an admin a fulltime job <br />Demo - None <br />Files Altered - ubbt.inc.php, addpost.php, and any additional page you add the protection to <br />Database Altered - Yes, New table w3t_Flood added. <br />New Files - None <br />Updates <br />[v1.1] Database field F_Username changed to F_UID

I've changed a couple things since first posting, so you may want to get the new copy.

I'm interested in this - has it been tested to work reasonably well?

It's been run a good bit on my site (which is pretty busy). It works great on addpost.php to stop post flooding. Using it for keeping track of page views is a little less tested and some bugs may surface due to the larger amount of data it has to track.

Updated to use user number instead of name. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ah cool, having been the brunt of several floods, this one can come in very handy <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just the mod I was looking for<br /><br />Huge thanks
