I also check the "referer" when someone tries to reply to make sure they're not just using a favorite they've saved from earlier. These two techniques have cut down the amount of posting substantially. So my current trick is the button is hidden but still present in the form if you know how to get to it.

I like the idea of putting up the locked message... yes, I really like this. :twisted: I may save the idea of switching buttons for a bit later. Hm. Could even make the switch random so it's different on each refresh.

The refresh would have an additional URL argument which would by-pass the locked message and allow a reply.

Report is for quoting, Reply is the New Topic button etc. ;) Sounds like fun. :lol:
