Elgg-Hammer is a php script that runs when your Elgg pages start loading and it searches as requests arrive, Elgg-Hammer checks how long it's been since that client's last  request.

If a reasonable amount of time has passed, the page is served as usual. But if not, their "Hammer Count" is increased.

Oh oh ho ho ho! When the elgg hammer trigger levels count reaches, the user if is hammering is immediately suspended, and redirected to a page with a message  "must wait X amount of seconds before you will try again!" The more they continue to mess around with your website, the longer they will have to wait.

First, to test Elgg Hammer, you have to install Elgg Hammer "gutwahammer" in your Elgg mod directory, Activate it through Elgg admin plugin page, then  load any page of your Elgg website, refresh it repeatedly or hit Key on your keyboard over and over like bots do, quickly.  Be careful, if you continue refreshing the page repeatedly I promise you! After a few hits, you will get a banned message on your screen "must wait X amount of seconds before you will try again!" ....  which means you have been banned from hammering your own beautiful elgg site...
