Flood controls for Aurora communities

With Khoros, there are limits on how often people are allowed to post, upload images, videos, and attachments, tag content, send private messages, and other community actions before triggering flood controls. Flood controls are in place to help combat potential spam

Note: Those with the Administrator and Moderator role are exempt from flood control restrictions; these thresholds affect only regular members.

The following table lists the default flood rate settings for various actions performed by the member within a specified period of time.

  • Hi Team,

    1. For these rules, are edits to existing content treated the exact same as creation of new content?
    2. Am I able to monitor anywhere how frequently the respective default flood controls in place are being triggered?
