   Hi, is it possible to time-limit the submissions? Now it seems to be limited by IP. Is it possible to limit the blockage by time? Like IP ban for 7 days/6 months or so?

   Hi, I have found a link http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/limit-submissions-per-user-for-a-limited-time?replies=2 but I do not know how to change it for 180 days instead. Could someone help me?

   To confirm, you would like to limit each IP address to be able submitting into the form once every 180 days only? Is that correct?

   I would rather combine IP and email with 180 days limit. Or is there any better approach to limit repeated submissions? I have found

   <?php
   
   function GetVolumeLabel($drive) {
     // Try to grab the volume name
     if (preg_match('#Volume Serial Number is (.*)\n#i', shell_exec('dir '.$drive.':'), $m)) {
       $volname = ' ('.$m[1].')';
     } else {
       $volname = '';
     }
   return $volname;
   }
   
   $serial =  str_replace("(","",str_replace(")","",GetVolumeLabel("c")));
   
   echo $serial;
   
   ?>

   that would surely help, but it is now allowed by my provider. Finally how do you use IP limit? As some ISP's use IP address pooling it might be better to let the last part of the IP change.
