@bphelp Premium, not my cup of tea. I’m tackling the topic so throttling can be a feature in Buddypress itself (core feature), not simply as a plugin.

The problem is I need to modify the core files and add a plugin at the same time so a user can change the Throttling settings in his WordPress backend.
