FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

AntiFlood Extension for Flarum
AntiFlood is a Flarum extension that adds longer-term flood protection and pending-approval limits on top of Flarum's built-in throttling.
How it relates to Flarum's built-in throttle
Flarum already ships a PostCreationThrottler that blocks any user who posts (a reply or a new topic) within 10 seconds of their previous post. This is a short-term anti-double-posting guard and is always active.
This extension adds two complementary protections on top:
| Protection | Applies to | Default | Configurable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topic flood limit | New topics (discussions.create) |
max 3 per 5 min | ✅ |
| Reply flood limit | Replies (posts.create) |
disabled (0) | ✅ |
| Pending approval limit | Both topics and replies | max 6 pending | ✅ |
- Topic flood limit — prevents a user from opening more than N new topics within a configurable time window (minutes). Useful on forums where topic spam is the main concern.
- Reply flood limit — optionally limits how many replies a user may post in the same time window. Disabled by default because Flarum's 10-second throttle is usually enough for replies; enable it for stricter forums.
- Pending approval limit — blocks further posting if the user already has too many posts/topics awaiting moderator approval. Avoids approval queues being swamped.
Administrators are exempt from all limits.
Compatibility
| Flarum Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| 1.x | ✅ |
| 2.x | ✅ |
Admin settings
All limits and error messages can be customised in Admin → Extensions → AntiFlood:
| Setting | Default | Description |

| Reply flood limit | 0 (off) | Max new replies per interval (0 = disabled) |
| Flood interval | 5 min | Time window for flood checks |
| Maximum pending posts | 6 | Max combined pending posts+topics before blocking |
| Custom error messages | — | Override the default translated messages |

Recommendations
To get the most out of your forum's protection, this extension works best when combined with:
First Post Approval by PeopleInside
While AntiFlood prevents users from posting too frequently, First Post Approval holds the very first posts of new users for moderator review. Together, they provide a complete defense against spam and low-quality content from new accounts.
Install it via Composer:
composer require peopleinside/flarum-ext-first-post-approval
