enabling flood control

1 Sep 05, 2005 02:26    

Hi all,

I see in comment_post.php that there is "flood control" set up to prevent someone from entering multiple posts in a short time.

But it doesn't actually seem to be doing anything (or not much) for me.

So I was wondering if it's possible that it's not enabled. How might I make sure it's enabled?

And how can I modify the time threshold?

Also, will this work against the spammers who already get around captcha?

Thanks!

In conf/_advanced.php find this bit and maybe up the number of seconds: 

/**
 * Minimum interval (in seconds) between consecutive comments from same IP
 * @global int $minimum_comment_interval
 */
$minimum_comment_interval = 60;

I *think* that's the flood control thing...
