Limit amount of ads per minute/hour | check for blank fields

[shri]

We were flooded with a large amount of blank/empty classified ads today. Apparently, if you turn off your browser's Javascript, you can submit the form page with empty fields right away since all the error and form fields checking seem to be done with Javascript.

Unless I'm mistaken, there doesn't seem to be any error or (required) blank fields checking either on the PHP side. So shouldn't there be a simple block in uploadproduct.php to check the title and description to see if they're blank at the very least?

Or maybe a setting to limit the amount of ads a user can post per minute or per hour to prevent flooding?

this depends on how you set things up but to check fields to see if empty this is javascript you need that enabled in face you need that enabled for many features in software.

You can set a max ad limit as well as an ads per day feature in edit usergroups in admin.
