I really like the flood protection, just got it doing a pm.
however when we mean flooding we don't really mean someone sending 2 messages in 30 seconds, we mean someone who send 100 messages in 10 minutes. ie, it is not just the last message that needs to be chceked but how many have been sent in the last ten minutes.
In sending a pm it was set at 60 seconds here and i couldn't send two one after the another. Yes i know i can shorten it to 20 seconds say but then you loose effective protection. So basically you need to have a system where it is you can't x messages in x minutes. Say 20 in 5 minutes. This i would think would be better?
if possible i would like this. add it to the list for vb 8.0 perhaps :)
