I think PHPbb 2-3 (which I believe you are running) can be set to only apply the flood limit to a certain status of member based on post count.

I haven't had to set the flood limits on my boards yet, but I'm going to be doing some admin-ing today, and I'll check the above while I'm poking around in the Control Panel.

I can understand keeping the spam out, but every once and awhile a discussion seems to turn into a nice paced chat session between quality members, and it would be nice to retain that.

Hey DTV Admins,

I've been rooting around in one of my PHPbb boards for the last hour trying to find the solution to this, and I would like to help out.

I'm going to post the fix, and I hope that someone will consider it.

(assuming this is a PHPbb):

Under the 'PERMISSIONS' tab:

"Permission roles"

"Forum roles" >>>

Pick the Role Name (such as Standard Access, Standard Access+Polls, etc), Click on the Gear icon, scroll to the bottom, there is a Permissions table there.

Under the Misc. Tab, "Can ignore flood limit"

This will apply this exception to all users defined in this role.

---

The way I just set mine up, is that all roles, except Bots, Newly Registered, and Guests can ignore my Flood Limit. However, I changed my settings so that a Newly Registered User has to make 15 posts before they are considered Registered. I figure, if someone is going to stick around for 15 posts (with a minute+ flood limit) they're probably alright to use the board like a respected member.

---

If you want to bump up the number of posts for a Newly Registered user (AKA The Spammers) go to the "General" Tab at the top and go into "User Registration Settings" and change "New member post limit:" to whatever you feel is appropriate.

---

I post this to help and mean no offense to the way this board is set up (Except that damn AdBull thing). This is just very complicated software that I am still learning to use and improve, and I feel better being able to pass that on. And I hope you'll take it as such.

:cheers:

He set it for 30 seconds or something like that. A lot better now.
