After last nights troll attack I got to thinking. This guy posted ~300 times in 3 hours, an average of 100 posts an hour. If there was a time limit that one would have to wait, say 1 - 2 minutes, between posts the amount the troll posted could have been reduced. ~30-60 an hour, or 90 - 180 total.
A one to two minute wait between posts shouldn't cause too much problems, this is usually the time a normal person would take between posts plus it adds a form of security against spamming/trolls.

EDIT: Another idea, would there be a way to test if the post you are submitting is identical to a previous post you've recently submitted?

That is a really, really good idea. Great suggestion - should really help tackle this idiot. Roll Eyes

Surprised Pete you could do it so easily. It wasn't too technical then?

I'll test now (and then delete) for making threds.

The subject lines seem to provide a loophole for spamming since they are slightly different from the other subject lines.
