We had an issue today in which it seemed like we were getting flooded with posts from a new member. I found the current settings were either too drastic (unfederate community, block user) or weren’t available (those in title), so I settled on temporarily restricting posts to mods only, plus adding a warning message for other posters, which unfortunately was again on the drastic side. (that message now appears all over the place)

Had a good look through codeberg issues but couldn’t find that the title ideaas had been suggested before. So to be clear, would it be possible to add in community settings:

  1. Limit posts per user per day to X.

  2. Checkbox option to require posters to be on a whitelist, incidentally helping prevent spam.

Thanks for any consideration!

    I don’t think your whitelist idea was in mine though. Might be an idea to codeberg that.

      No, it wasn’t. And my pt1 had similarities with your p5, but wasn’t entirely the same thing.

      TBH, I have pretty much zero experience with GitHub / Codeberg. Is it enough that I’m posting this here, or would I be expected to add something over there? (it seems like codeberg is more for the dev, or people who directly work with the dev)
