NixFifty's Ticket Permissions;

• Post Reply - Enable Per ticket rate limiting
• Post Reply - Per ticket rate limiting - delay between ticket messages in seconds
• Post Reply - General rate limiting - delay between ticket messages (including new tickets!) in seconds

This permits the posting/react rate to be managed per node, and per user group. The number is the delay in seconds between posts.

Minimum supported delay is 1 second. A value of zero disables that rate limiter (ie falls through to the next check), and a value of unlimited causes it to be the equivalent of zero seconds delay

This is due to how XenForo permissions inherited with numeric.

The per thread/node option allows decoupling of the global flood limiter from posting in different sections.

Matching order, the first match wins:

• Per thread rate limiting.
• Per node rate limiting.
• General post rate limiting.

The XF global flood check ("Minimum time between messages") is skipped if any of the above matches are configured.

No extra queries required.
