Custom flood filters detect known types of attacks and reject posts accordingly. They are made up of a condition and an action, for when all conditions are met.

These condition names are case-insensitive. All conditions are optional. If you don’t care about a particular value, don’t include it in your filter.

Checks if there has been x posts or more in the past y minutes (on the current board).

The above conditions are currently unavailable in the latest git revision.

Similar to events but the function must return true if the condition was met.

$config['flood_filters'][] = array(
	'condition' => array(
		'name' => '/^Anonymous$/',
		'body' => '/h$/i',
		'OP' => false,
		'custom' => function($post) {
			if ($post['name'] == 'Anonymous')
				return true;
			else
				return false;
		}
	),
	'action' => 'reject'
);

The post is rejected and an error message is displayed.

The user is immediately banned and the post may be rejected.

The following example, to be added in a configuration file, blocks users posting a reply with the name “surgeon”, ending his posts with “regards, the surgeon” or similar.

$config['flood_filters'][] = array(
	'condition' => array(
		'name' => '/^surgeon$/',
		'body' => '/regards,\s+(the )?surgeon$/i',
		'OP' => false
	),
	'action' => 'reject',
	'message' => 'Go away, spammer.'
);

Instead of rejecting the post, you can ban the user too.

$config['flood_filters'][] = array(
	'condition' => array(
		'name' => '/^surgeon$/',
		'body' => '/regards,\s+(the )?surgeon$/i',
		'OP' => false
	),
	'action' => 'ban',
	'expires' => 60 * 60 * 3, // 3 hours
	'reason' => 'Go away, spammer.'
);
