Controlling Flooding

Forum has some protection mechanism so that the users cannot flood the forum with too many postings. The basic idea is to stop the hackers who may write script to send requests automatically. This feature may not be needed if you are already using CAPTCHA support.

Basically, Forum keeps track of how many postings are created from a specific client domain at a certain time period. If it exceeds the threshold, Forum blocks that client domain for a configured amount of time. However, the user can unblock his domain by posting again with CAPTCHA verification if flooding control mechanism is configured to support this.
