Description

I use the bbp_check_for_duplicate() function in a plugin of mine. However, my plugin is mostly used in logged-out instances.

bbp_check_for_duplicate() has a check to see if the current user can bypass the throttle setting with current_user_can( 'throttle' ).

Would it be suitable to change this to user_can() instead? That way, this function can be used outside of logged-in instances.

Attached patch switches out current_user_can( 'throttle' ) for user_can( (int) $r['post_author'], 'throttle' ). Throttle check uses the post author ID.

Let me know what you think.

In 6753:

Duplicates: check post_author argument instead of current user.

This change brings duplicate checking up to speed with flood and blacklist checks by preferring user_can() over current_user_can(), and plays a bit more friendly with anonymous author IDs.

Props r-a-y. Fixes #3186.
