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?

Yea, one minut time limit is a good idea!

Good idea. Done.  8)

That is a really, really good idea. Great suggestion - should really help tackle this idiot.  ::)
Surprised Pete you could do it so easily. It wasn't too technical then?

I have tested it, and i could post four posts in a row..

so i think you should upgrade that too..

Many of the foruns I use do this and it does help prevent total rubbish.

test 1

Appears to be so. I can post multiple times.
I'll test now (and then delete) for making threds.


EDIT:

Pete it isn't working.  Look:

wow... I didn't expect such a fast response!!
I hope it can be fully implemented soon!
From info gained from the troll while he was on, he will be returning sometime soon  

test... not working yet

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