I am not posting this in the mods forum as it is purely a suggestion for the next release.

I have had a person register in my forums who then proceded to spam the users using PMs. Perhaps the posting flood control could be enhanced to say prevent the number of PMs within a certain time frame much the same as posts.

There already is one, buy default it is set to 10 PM's per hour.

To lower this go to the 'Forum Configuration' page in the admin area and change the PM flood control to a lower number of PM's allowed to be sent in an hour.
