Re: Change throttle. Also, is it based on username or IP?
The throttle is right in each user’s profile page.
It’s based on username.
If you want to tinker with increasing it, try this plugin I whipped up to avoid core hacks:
function post_regulation($text) {
global $bb_current_user;
$wait=45; // seconds between posts
if (isset($bb_current_user->data->last_posted) && time() < ($bb_current_user->data->last_posted + $wait) && !bb_current_user_can('throttle'))
bb_die(__('Slow down; you are posting too often.'));
if (strlen(trim($text))<10)
bb_die(__('Your post is too short, please say something meaningful!'));
if (strlen($text)>2500)
bb_die(__('Your post is too long!'));
return $text;
}
add_filter('pre_post', 'post_regulation');
In theory it would be possible to hack that further to regulate based on IP by doing a mysql query for the last post time that has the current user’s IP.
