Well this is my first attempt at making a hack available to other users, so it still needs a little work. I'm sure some of you guys can look over the code and make some suggestions.

Mod Name / Version - Flood Protection 1.1
Description - Adds a function to ubbt.inc.php to enable protection against users repeatedly posting (flooding your boards). It also has the ability to track page views to help guard against a user overloading your server by requesting database intensive pages repeatedly.
Working under - UBB.threads 6.2.3
Any pre-requisites - A general knowledge of php and mysql
Author(s) - 3DSHROOM
Credits - All the users that make being an admin a fulltime job
Demo - None
Files Altered - ubbt.inc.php, addpost.php, and any additional page you add the protection to
Database Altered - Yes, New table w3t_Flood added.
New Files - None
Updates
[v1.1] Database field F_Username changed to F_UID

I've changed a couple things since first posting, so you may want to get the new copy.

I'm interested in this - has it been tested to work reasonably well?

It's been run a good bit on my site (which is pretty busy). It works great on addpost.php to stop post flooding. Using it for keeping track of page views is a little less tested and some bugs may surface due to the larger amount of data it has to track.
