Compatible with:
The module is included in the script package. Install it in the admin area under Modules, then switch it on in its settings.
How this module works
Before a comment or a guestbook entry is saved, the module checks two things:
- Duplicates: if the same comment has already been posted on the same page, for example because a visitor clicked the button twice, it is not saved again
- Limit: if one address has written more comments within an hour than you allow, further comments are stopped
The visitor receives a notice that the comment has already been posted or that too many comments have been written in a short time.
Settings
- Comments per address and hour: 10 by default, 0 means no limit
- Mode: off, moderate or reject
