I changed this setting from 3 to 1: /admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=consecutive But users can still reply to their own replies in a topic as often as they like. Its seems like this setting is not applied. Am I missing something obvious?

Is the issue that they’re bumping the topic? If so, give this a look: [image] Discourse No Bump Plugin discourse2 Summary Discourse No Bump prevents users from bumping topics. hammer_and_wrench Repository Link https://github.com/discourse/discourse-no-bump open_book Install Guide How to install plugins in Discourse Features This plugin prevents users from bumping their own topics. On some higher traffic forums, if a user doesn’t receive replies to their topic they will reply to themselves (bumping) repeatedly to gain visibility. When enabled, a user will need to wait…

[image] renem: Am I missing something obvious? Double-check you saved the change. Also, are the users staff? :thinking:

Settings are saved and the users have trust level “basic user”. There aren’t any settings that overrule this right?

[image] renem: But users can still reply to their own replies in a topic as often as they like. Its seems like this setting is not applied. If the user owns the topic, they are allowed to do that. Did the user create the topic in the first place? If it is their topic, they have the right to reply as many times as they like.

That’s the case yes. Any way to change that behavior? We have users who create a new topic and then add multiple questions, each in a different reply.

[image] renem: Any way to change that behavior? Say, “please don’t post a bunch of times in the same topic.” :slight_smile:

This looks like a great plugin. Thanks!

No, there is no way to change that behavior at this time.
