OK, let's get this party started :)

The Craw:
I started checking out your mod today. Looks pretty awesome so far. :)

RabidShepherd:
Your mod is working fine on my test server. I'm not qualified to to check your code like you're doing on mine, you know way more than I do. All I noticed is a typo in the $txt['PostLimit_custom_message_sub'] of PostLimit.english.php. It says
--- Code: ---{limit} will display the amount of messages this particular user can made.
--- End code ---
made should be make

The mod uninstalls fine but leaves the scheduled task and a couple settings. The settings are no biggie I guess, everyone has their preference on that. But, will that remaining scheduled task cause a problem when it tries to run?

Nice mod, I could see me having a use for it on my site.

Oh, I almost forgot, I couldn't find where you allow other members to limit posts. Maybe it doesn't work on my test server cause I only have 1 admin and 1 member on it. Where's that option located?

Suki:
Cool, thanks. Will make the changes later today.

You don't need to be a SMF guru to do  checks, that is the whole point of been a community program, ;)

The option to let other members set a limit is a permission by group, check the permissions page, it should be a new permission for it.

Arantor:
Nice mod.

The one thing I'd say about community checking is that while you don't need to be a guru to test things, it really helps if someone who does know PHP well can take a look as well, for vulnerability checking... this one looks very clean though :)
