Stop Spammers From Flooding Private Message using Buddypress Private Message Rate Limiter
BuddyPress Private Message Rate Limiter plugin allows site admins to limit the number of private messages a user can send on BuddyPress sites during a particular interval of time. The best use case is to limit spammers from flooding your network users via private message.
Features:-
- Limit the number of new messages only
- or Limit The number of messages ( including replies )
- Admins can set the time duration
That speaks for itself. It simply allows admins to restrict the users from flooding private messages.
Download & Installation:-
https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-private-message-rate-limiter/
After downloading, you can set the limit by visiting BuddyPress->Settings screen as shown below. 
This plugin is tested to work with BuddyPress 1.7.3 & BuddyPress 1.8 .
PS: As mentioned in my previous blog while we set the goal for July, I have released the first plugin. Most of other plugins are ready and we will be releasing them on regular basis from today onward to meet the target.
Great job @sbrajesh! Thanks for another cool release!
Thank you Ben. Happy to finally release it 🙂
@sbrajesh, thanks for this great plugin which is why I joined your premium. I just had a test and it work as it should but I noticed when the specified limit is reached, the plugin removed private message button on other users profile, is there a way to still leave the button but just show the error notice when trying to send message.
regards
Hi Abbey,
Thank you. I have updated the plugin. with version 1.0.1, In the settings Page you can uncheck the hide send message button and it will keep them visible.
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much @sbrajesh, its a money well spent. In your next update, please can you make this plugin compatible with http://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-message-ux/
currently, if you untick the Remove message button from the setting, Users can still send message if you are using bp-profile-message-ux plugin.
Regards
Thanks Abbey,
As I replied in another activity, I am looking at it and will let you know soon 🙂
ok @sbrajesh, will be looking forward to that.
regards
Brajesh. Great plugin. Have you given thought to adding the function to limit private messages to being sent to only one user at a time? One to one private messages to prevent users from spamming multiple users at one time?
If not part of this plugin perhaps it could be a separate simple plugin. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Steve.
It is a good suggestions and I will add it in our next update. That will certainly be nice to have feature.
