Certain amount of posts at any one time?

TownFish

Is there a plugin or way to limit the amount of posts in a certain category that a user can post at anyone time?

For example they can only have 5 live posts at a time and would have to delete one in order to post another.

no. but there is a permission that does something similar but not category specific.

number of posts per time period.

/settings/floodcontrol which set the following in config.php

//time in seconds you can adjust if the dashboard doesn't give you the increments you want.

$Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussion']['SpamTime'] = '240';
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussion']['SpamLock'] = '600';
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussion']['ShowCounts'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['SpamCount'] = '5';
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['SpamTime'] = '60';
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['SpamLock'] = '120'
