Flood Permissions - Add permissions to limit posting speed for XenForo 2.3 2.5.3

Provide permissions for user groups to optionally limit posting speed appropriately including the following permissions:

Topic/Post permissions;

• New Thread - Enable Per node rate limiting
• New Thread - Per node post rate limiting - delay between new threads in seconds
• New Thread - General rate limiting - delay between new threads in seconds

• Post Reply - Enable Per thread rate limiting
• Post Reply - Per thread rate limiting - delay between posts in seconds
• Post Reply - Enable Per node rate limiting
• Post Reply - Per node post rate limiting - delay between posts in seconds
• Post Reply - General rate limiting - delay between posts in seconds

• React - Enable Per thread rate limiting
• React - Per thread rate limiting - delay between posts in seconds
• React - Enable Per node rate limiting
• React - Per node post rate limiting - delay between posts in seconds
• React - General rate limiting - delay between posts in seconds

• Delete - Enable Per thread rate limiting
• Delete - Per thread rate limiting - delay between deleting posts in seconds
• Delete - Enable Per node rate limiting
• Delete - Per node post rate limiting - delay between deleting posts in seconds
• Delete - General rate limiting - delay between posts in seconds

Conversation rights;

• Post Reply - Enable Per conversation rate limiting
• Post Reply - Per conversation rate limiting - delay between conversation messages in seconds
• Post Reply - General rate limiting - delay between conversation messages (including new conversations!) in seconds

• React - Per conversation rate limiting - delay between reacts in seconds
• React - Enable Per conversation rate limiting
• React - General rate limiting - delay between reacts in seconds

This allows the post/like rate to be managed per node and per usergroup. The number is the delay in seconds between actions.

The minimum supported delay is 1 second. A value of 0 disables that rate limit (i.e. falls on the next check), and an unlimited value makes it equivalent to a 0 second delay.

This is due to the way XenForo permissions are inherited with numbers.

The per thread/node option allows the global flood limiter to be separated from posting in different sections.

Matching:

• Limit the speed of each thread.
• Limit the speed of each node.
• General post rate limit.

The global XF flood check ("Minimum Time Between Notifications") is skipped if any of the above matches are configured.
