Flood permissions by Xon 2.6.0

Provides user group permissions for the following post/like rate limiting options:

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

This permits the posting/liking rate to be managed per node, and per user group. The number is the delay in seconds between actions.

Minimum supported delay is 1 second. A value of zero disables that rate limiter (ie falls through to the next check), and a value of unlimited causes it to be the equivalent of zero seconds delay

This is due to how XenForo permissions inherited with numeric.

The per thread/node option allows decoupling of the global flood limiter from posting in different sections.

Matching order, the first match wins:

• Per thread rate limiting.
• Per node rate limiting.
• General post rate limiting.
• XF Global post rate limiting (reports/posts/profile posts/etc).

No extra queries required.
