[thelist] MySQL & perl question

The Bool website ( http://www.bool.co.il ) has quite a few message boards
running using custom-made perl & MySQL software (A sample message board can
be found here:
 http://www.bool.co.il/cgi-bin/bu.cgi?page=forum&forum=22343 )

We would like to implement a feature that will prevent users from "flooding"
message boards with the same message over a short period of time (a few
minutes).

However, we are not sure how to do that. Anyone have any ideas? We currently
have about 200-300 messages posted daily, and the numbers are growing all
the time.

Thanks,
Shoshannah Forbes
