Hello everyone,
Is Chevereto's Flood Protection based on IP addresses to determine and limit image uploads? I have enabled Flood Protection, but I noticed that users are able to bypass the upload limits. For example, I set a limit of 500 images per month, but in reality, a user has uploaded 800 images in less than a month.

Is it possible to apply Flood Protection based on the user instead of the IP address? That is, even if a user uploads images using different IP addresses, as long as the user remains the same, they should still be subject to the Flood Protection limit.

I hope the developer could consider adding this feature, or if there are any good alternative solutions, please let me know. Thank you!
 
At this time I'm not actively reviewing this issue, I don't have any suggestion. Will ask on Discord, perhaps it concerns other users.

Please note that I'm the only person working on this code, I can't be on top of every single issue with the same dedication.
