Hey guys!

Is it possible to do something with PHP and MySQL about Flood Protection?  
I tried something, which didn’t work, where it received the user ip and matched it to the comments db, and then deleted 2 of their comments if they had posted 3 on the same thing…but I need something better than that, without cookies…

Thanks  
Benji
