limit on number of posts

I'm having some issues with a few forum members

Rather than banning I'd like to be able to limit the number of posts per day by specific people.

I don't want those people to get any message. Just once they have hit the daily limit they can no longer post. Maybe the reply button disappears.

Please let me know your ideas.

I have a group called spammers. You could use that group as the post limit group and I could put them in.

Better idea. Limit number of posts for registered users while members are unlimited. This would double as spam control.

Re: limit on number of posts

I think Registered Users is the way to go.

I want to limit registered users to a specific number of posts per day, ideally a that I can change.

Lets say 2 posts a day to start.

Then if a MEMBER is causing problems I can remove him from the MEMBERS leaving him in REGISTERED and slow down his negativity with reduced posting.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you.

In my opinion it should be done by warnings and rules. Then, with permission groups. I don't like the idea of suddenly remove the reply link, or something like that with no warning. A lot of users will might think it is a bug and call your or Nabble support.

I'm thinking in a way to control the daily count of posts. I will have to use the extra fields.

Re: limit on number of posts

Is there a way to have a group with less fewer permissions than registered?

Lets figure this out before you do any more work on it.

No, Greg has well explained here.

Re: limit on number of posts

What if registered members were automatically placed in another group, at the time of registration. One time only.

Then I could take this member and he would be the only one in REGISTERED but not in the other group.

I hate to undermine my spam system for this one guy.

I need some way to slow this guy down without removing privileges for registered members.

In reply to this post by Pedro

The original idea of allowing registered users a fixed number of posts per day will really help.

Lets do that and show me how to set the number of posts.

I'd REALLY like to hide the button. I don't want email from those I am trying to discipline.

Please, add this to your naml code:

<override_macro name="topic_html" requires="servlet">
    <n.topic_min_html>
        <head>
            <n.topic_common_head/>
            <n.topic_head/>
            <n.topic_meta/>
            <n.increment_view_count/>
        </head>
        <body>
            <n.page_node.topic_hardcoded_notices/>
            <n.newsflash/>
            <n.topic_header/>
            <n.topic_controls/>
            <n.topic_contents.view_contents.page_node.topic_rows/>
            <n.topic_footer/>
            <n.report_inappropriate_content_panel/>
            <n.user_request/>
        </body>
    </n.topic_min_html>
</override_macro>

<override_macro name="reply_link" requires="node" parameters="title, href">
    <n.set_var. name="href"><n.default text="[n.href/]" to="[n.reply_path/]" /></n.set_var.>
    <a class="reply_link" href="[n.var name='href'/]" title="[n.title/]" rel="nofollow"><t>Reply</t></a>
</override_macro>

<macro name='user_from_get' dot_parameter="do" >
    <n.get_user_from_id. user_id="[n.get_parameter name='user'/]">
        <n.do/>
    </n.get_user_from_id.>    
</macro>
<macro name="user_request">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var posts_today;
        var path = '/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_response&user=';
        var url = Nabble.userId;
        $.getScript(path+url+Nabble.getClientID() ,function(data){
        posts_today = data;
        if(posts_today > 2){
        $('.reply_link').css('display','none');
        }
        });   
        
    </script>
</macro>
<macro name="user_response">
    <n.if.user_from_get.is_in_group group="posts" >
        <then>
            <n.user_from_get.node_count filter = "date_part('day',now() - when_created) = 0 "/>
        </then>            
    </n.if.user_from_get.is_in_group>    
</macro>

It limits on 2 posts per day or users in "posts" group. You should also create these group.

Re: limit on number of posts

Have you added this user at "posts" group?
